Trait divergence and trade-offs among Brassicaceae species differing in elevational distribution.

Abstract excerpt

Species have restricted geographic distributions and the causes are still largely unknown. Temperature has long been associated with distribution limits, suggesting that there are ubiquitous constraints to the evolution of the climate niche. Here, we investigated the traits involved in such constraints by macroevolutionary comparisons involving 100 Brassicaceae species differing in elevational distribution....
