Rapid adaptation and extinction across climates in synchronized outdoor evolution experiments of Arabidopsis thaliana Open
Climate change is threatening species with extinction, and rapid evolutionary adaptation may be their only option for population rescue over short ecological timescales. However, direct observations of rapid genetic adaptation and populati…

Costs of reproduction in flowering plants Open
Summary Costs of reproduction arise when investments into current reproduction reduce future reproductive fitness. Studies on reproductive costs use diverse approaches, including the analysis of gene expression, physiology, trade‐offs betw…

SNP‐RFLP Markers for the Study of <i>Arabidopsis lyrata</i> Open
Arabidopsis lyrata has become a useful system for the study of comparative genomics, hybridization, polyploidization, and evolutionary transitions from outcrossing to selfing. Previous studies of its mating system have used microsatellite …

Breakdown of self-incompatibility due to genetic interaction between a specific S-allele and an unlinked modifier Open
Breakdown of self-incompatibility has frequently been attributed to loss-of-function mutations of alleles at the locus responsible for recognition of self-pollen (i.e. the S- locus). However, other potential causes have rarely been tested.…

Differences in mating system and predicted parental conflict affect post-pollination reproductive isolation in a flowering plant Open
Mating system shifts from outcrossing to selfing are frequent in plant evolution. Relative to outcrossing, selfing is associated with reduced parental conflict over seed provisioning, which may result in postzygotic, asymmetric, reproducti…

Traces of Genetic but Not Epigenetic Adaptation in the Invasive Goldenrod Solidago canadensis Despite the Absence of Population Structure Open
Biological invasions may result from multiple introductions, which might compensate for reduced gene pools caused by bottleneck events, but could also dilute adaptive processes. A previous common-garden experiment showed heritable latitudi…

No evidence for incipient speciation by selfing in North American <i>Arabidopsis lyrata</i> Open
Self‐fertilization inherently restricts gene flow by reducing the fraction of offspring that can be produced by inter‐population matings. Therefore, mating system transitions from outcrossing to selfing could result in reproductive isolati…

Declines in occurrence of plants characteristic for a nutrient‐poor meadow habitat are partly explained by their responses to nutrient addition and competition Open
Species losses and local extinctions are alarmingly common, frequently as a consequence of habitat destruction. Nevertheless, many intact habitats also face species losses, most likely due to environmental changes. However, the exact drive…

Limited phenological and pollinator-mediated isolation among selfing and outcrossing <i>Arabidopsis lyrata</i> populations Open
Transitions from outcrossing to selfing have been a frequent evolutionary shift in plants and clearly play a role in species divergence. However, many questions remain about the initial mechanistic basis of reproductive isolation during th…

Manipulation of cytosine methylation does not remove latitudinal clines in two invasive goldenrod species in Central Europe Open
Invasive species frequently differentiate phenotypically in novel environments within a few generations, often even with limited genetic variation. For the invasive plants Solidago canadensis and S. gigantea , we tested whether such differ…

A shift towards the annual habit in selfing <i>Arabidopsis lyrata</i> Open
An annual life history is often associated with the ability to self-fertilize. However, it is unknown whether the evolution of selfing commonly precedes the evolution of annuality, or vice versa. Using a 2-year common garden experiment, we…

Differential Contribution of P5CS Isoforms to Stress Tolerance in Arabidopsis Open
Proline accumulation is a widespread response of plants to salt stress as well as drought and cold stress. In most plant species, two isoforms of pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) catalyze the first step in proline biosynthesis fro…

Allelopathic effects of native and invasive <i>Brassica nigra</i> do not support the novel‐weapons hypothesis Open
Premise The novel‐weapons hypothesis predicts that some plants are successful invaders because they release allelopathic compounds that are highly suppressive to naïve competitors in invaded ranges but are relatively ineffective against co…

Admixture increases performance of an invasive plant beyond first‐generation heterosis Open
Through its potential to enhance progeny performance, admixture (between‐population crossing) may promote invasiveness of alien plants. The few studies that tested this idea found evidence for heterosis (positive effects of admixture) in t…

Relatively weak inbreeding depression in selfing but also in outcrossing populations of North American <i>Arabidopsis lyrata</i> Open
Hermaphroditic plants can potentially self‐fertilize, but most possess adaptations that promote outcrossing. However, evolutionary transitions to higher selfing rates are frequent. Selfing comes with a transmission advantage over outcrossi…
