Artificial Selection Reveals High Genetic Variation in Phenology at the Trailing Edge of a Species Range.

Abstract excerpt

Species responses to climate change depend on the interplay of migration and adaptation, yet we know relatively little about the potential for adaptation. Genetic adaptations to climate change often involve shifts in the timing of phenological events, such as flowering. If populations at the edge of a species range have lower genetic variation in phenological traits than central populations, then their...
