Potential for evolutionary responses to climate change – evidence from tree populations (2013, background): “The immediate responses via phenotypic plasticity have also been considered in the context of climate change (Nicotra et al., 2010).”
Studying phenotypic plasticity: the advantages of a broad approach (2012, background): “be measured and uncertainty about its role in adaptation in the context of a changing world (Valladares & Gianoli, 2007; Valladares, Sánchez-Gómez & Zavala, 2006; Valladares, Gianoli & Gómez, 2007; Hulme, 2008; Visser, 2008; Matesanz, Gianoli & Valladares, 2010; Nicotra et al., 2010).”
Genetic divergence in forest trees: understanding the consequences of climate change (2014, background): “While only genetic divergence is of evolutionary relevance and may contribute to future adaptation (De Jong 2005; Nicotra et al. 2010), the adaptive role of plasticity cannot be entirely dismissed (Chevin & Lande 2010).”
Climate-adjusted provenancing: a strategy for climate-resilient ecological restoration (2015, background): “Advances in genomic analysis, including genome-wide screening, whole-genome sequencing, and candidate gene analysis, have opened up exciting new opportunities for understanding the genomic basis of biological adaptation (Angeloni et al., 2012; Savolainen et al., 2013; Hoffmann et al., 2015).”
Responses of common and rare aliens and natives to nutrient availability and fluctuations (2017, background): “High phenotypic plasticity is thought to help plants tolerate environmental change and to take advantage of increases in resources (Nicotra et al. 2010; Gratani 2014).”
Epigenetics for behavioral ecologists (2013, background): “, DNA methylation, histone modification, RNAi) that modify gene expression but do not change DNA sequence and may lead to heritable change in phenotype (Nicotra et al. 2010; Richards et al. 2010; Martin et al. 2011; Richards 2011).”
Abiotic stresses, constraints and improvement strategies in chickpea (2014, background): “Further, drastic climate changes have caused phenotypic plasticity implying changes in phenotype of plant (Nicotra et al. 2010), and this phenotypic plasticity permits to adjust their form and function according to the change of resource and habitat (Magyar et al.”
Stay or go – how topographic complexity influences alpine plant population and community responses to climate change (2017, background): “…microclimatic variation in e.g., mean temperatures that often matches what is expected under future climate change scenarios (2–6 °C; Armbruster et al., 2007; Dobrowski et al., 2013; Graae et al., 2012; Lenoir et al., 2013; Opedal et al., 2015; Scherrer and Körner, 2010; Scherrer and Körner, 2011).”
Biome Shifts and Niche Evolution in Plants (2014, background): “We also see great potential in studies of phenotypic plasticity and population dynamics along the margins of contrasting and rapidly moving environments (e.g., Nicotra et al. 2010, Reed et al. 2011).”
Timing is everything: does early and late germination favor invasions by herbaceous alien plants? (2016, positive): “Phenotypic plasticity is considered to play a major role in determining the success of many invasive plants (Nicotra et al. 2010; Pyšek and Richardson 2007; Richards et al. 2006), by affecting both the short-term response of plant populations to environmental variation and their long-term persistenc”
The effects of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation on forecasts of species range shifts under climate change. (2014, background): “…of plasticity to persistence and distributional shifts under climate change, it is the adaptive component that is of interest, i.e., plasticity that allows a genotype to maintain high fitness across environmental gradients (Van Kleunen & Fischer 2005; Matesanz et al. 2010; Nicotra et al. 2010).”
