Prescriptive Evolution to Conserve and Manage Biodiversity (2014, background): “In a 10-year experiment with quaking aspen in North America, seeds moved 800 or 1,600 km northward produced almost twice the biomass of local aspen seeds, suggesting local phenotypic mismatch (Schreiber et al. 2013).”
Assisted migration within species range ignores biotic interactions and lacks evidence (2017, methodology): “One was conducted on a forest tree species and clearly showed that genotypes coming from a warmer climate outperformed the local ones under ongoing climate change (Schreiber et al. 2013).”
Genetic differentiation and plasticity interact along temperature and precipitation gradients to determine plant performance under climate change (2017, background): “Most reciprocal transplant experiments have been done by transplanting individuals upwards or downwards along elevational or latitudinal gradients and then documenting their performance (e.g. Etterson 2004; Byars, Papst & Hoffmann 2007; De Frenne et al. 2011; Agren & Schemske 2012; Kim & Donohue 201”
Variation of xylem vessel diameters across a climate gradient: insight from a reciprocal transplant experiment with a widespread boreal tree (2015, methodology): “This high degree of plasticity was also associated with the high- est growth potential at all test sites (Schreiber et al. 2013a).”
