Traits to stay, traits to move: a review of functional traits to assess sensitivity and adaptive capacity of temperate and boreal trees to climate change (2016, background): “The greatest uncertainty in species’ ability to cope with climate change resides in their adaptive capacity (Gienapp et al. 2008; Nadeau and Jiggins 2010; Hof et al. 2011).”
Remotely sensed spectral heterogeneity as a proxy of species diversity: Recent advances and open challenges (2010, background): “For example, genetic variation is the basic level of biodiversity, influencing both speciation and the adaptive response of organisms to environmental change (Szathmáry et al., 2001; Gienapp et al., 2008).”
The problem of pattern and scale in ecology: what have we learned in 20 years? (2013, background): “Of course, not all trait variation can be ascribed to evolution, for non-heritable trait variation is a conspicuous feature in populations (Gienapp et al. 2008), but this framework provides was successful at relating models and data.”
Phenotypic changes in spring arrival: evolution, phenotypic plasticity, effects of weather and condition (2007, background): “The important role of phenotypic plasticity for the adaptation to new environmental conditions is increasingly being acknowledged (Thompson 1991, Price et al. 2003, Ghalambor et al. 2007, Gienapp et al. 2008, 15 Clim Res 35: 5–23, 2007 Hendry et al. 2008).”
Climate warming and ectotherm body size – from individual physiology to community ecology (2013, background): “Nevertheless, conclusive evidence of genetic change in response to increasing temperature is still rare for natural populations (Bradshaw & Holzapfel 2006; Gienapp et al. 2008), probably due to the limited amount of data suitable for tests of changes in allele frequencies in genes functionally linke”
Trends and management implications of human-influenced life-history changes in marine ectotherms (2016, background): “…trends, disentangling the two components in wild populations is notoriously difficult, because 130 realised life-histories will depend on the combined effect of genetic background, maternal effects, and 131 phenotypic plasticity (e.g. Gienapp et al. 2008; Kuparinen et al. 2009; Hansen et al. 2012).”
Multiple responses to increasing spring temperatures in the breeding cycle of blue and great tits (Cyanistes caeruleus, Parus major) (2011, background): “…and best documented ecological systems where the impact of global change on natural populations has been studied, is the reproductive timing of songbirds in relation to their invertebrate food supply (Crick et al., 1997; Torti & Dunn, 2005; Gienapp et al., 2008; Visser, 2008; Both et al., 2009).”
A global meta-analysis of the relative extent of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities. (2015, neutral): “…may have important consequences for community responses to environmental change (Lavergne et al. 2010), since plastic trait responses are expected to be rapid but limited in scope, whereas adaptive evolutionary responses may be broader in scope but proceed more slowly (Gienapp et al. 2008).”
Potential for evolutionary responses to climate change – evidence from tree populations (2013, background): “In a warming climate, spring phenology can likely respond and advance without much genetic change, as has already been seen in many species (Gienapp et al., 2008), provided that the chilling requirement has been met.”
Australia's Biodiversity and Climate Change (2010, background): “The precise role of genetic change vs manifestations of phenotypic plasticity in observations thus far, however, has been questioned (Gienapp et al. 2008).”
