Soil heterogeneity buffers community response to climate change in species‐rich grassland (2011, background): “…1), including Carex caryophyllea and Campanula rotundifolia, both suspected to have high levels of morphological plasticity and local genetic differentiation (Fridley et al., 2007; Whitlock et al., 2007) and able to persist as subordinates under a wide range of ecological conditions (Grime, 1998).”
Assessing species and community functional responses to environmental gradients: which multivariate methods? (2012, background): “An open research question concerns the extent to which trait variation along a gradient is mostly due to intra-species trait variability (phenotypic plasticity and/or genetic variability; Crutsinger et al. 2007; Whitlock et al. 2007; question 1c).”
Intraspecific variability and trait‐based community assembly (2010, background): “However, a growing number of studies have suggested that intraspecific variability can influence community structure (e.g. Whitlock et al. 2007).”
Plant–soil feedbacks contribute to an intransitive competitive network that promotes both genetic and species diversity (2011, background): “Thus while plant competition may be transitive at the species level, hidden intransitivities may occur due to genetic variation in competitive ability within species (Aarssen 1989;Whitlock et al. 2007).”
Rapid Evolutionary Change and the Coexistence of Species (2011, background): “…(Baquero & Blazquez 1997; Darimont et al. 2009; Dlugosch & Parker 2008; Hairston et al. 2005; Johnson & Stinchcombe 2007; Strauss et al. 2006, 2008; Whitney & Gabler 2008; Yoshida et al. 2003); notable examples include responses to anthropogenic stressors such as antibiotic, pesticide, and…”
Ecological consequences of genetic diversity. (2008, background): “In this system, genotype interactions contribute to the effects of diversity (Fridley et al. 2007; Whitlock et al. 2007): competition depends on the genetic identity of the competitor, not just the species identity (i.e. some genotypes of subordinate species can outcompete genotypes of superior…”
Genetic identity of interspecific neighbours mediates plant responses to competition and environmental variation in a species‐rich grassland (2007, background): “... even under the constant conditions of our pot experiment, pairwise interactions at the species level can depend strongly on the genetic identity of the competitors and can shift competitive outcomes at the species level (Fig. 3). Importantly, although the abundances of particular Carex caryophyl”
Human influence lowers plant genetic diversity in communities with extinction debt (2009, background): “Therefore, a correlation between both aspects of biodiversity is expected due to the parallel processes in their formation (Vellend & Geber 2005; Whitlock et al. 2007; He et al. 2008).”
