Background: Hybrid zones provide excellent opportunities for studying plant adaptation and speciation. Aims: We tested whether two herbaceous species of Senecio, S. vernalis and S. glaucus, hybridise in the eastern Mediterranean region and form a hyb...

Spatio-temporal variation in fitness responses to contrasting environments in Arabidopsis thaliana (2018)
Journal Article
Exposito-Alonso, M., Brennan, A. C., Alonso-Blanco, C., & Pico, F. X. (2018). Spatio-temporal variation in fitness responses to contrasting environments in Arabidopsis thaliana. Evolution: International Journal of Organic Evolution, 72(8), 1570-1586. https://doi.org/10.1111/evo.13508

The evolutionary response of organisms to global climate change is expected to be strongly conditioned by preexisting standing genetic variation. In addition, natural selection imposed by global climate change on fitness‐related traits can be heterog...
