The effects of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation on forecasts of species range shifts under climate change. (2014, background): “Differences in genotype and phenotype interact with environmental factors such that fitness can vary among populations as a function of both local adaptation and local environment (Savolainen et al. 2007; Leimu & Fischer 2008; Banta et al. 2012).”
Geography determines genetic relationships between species of mountain pine (Pinus mugo complex) in western Europe (2010, background): “The evolution of local adaptations and the ensuing high taxonomic diversity paralleled with low genetic differentiation at neutral markers seem to be a common pattern in pines (e.g. Barbéro et al., 1998; Savolainen et al., 2007).”
Long-distance gene flow and adaptation of forest trees to rapid climate change (2012, background): “adaptive traits (Glossary) repeatedly suggests that extensive gene flow (presumably mostly through pollen dispersal) has not prevented rapid adaptive divergence of extant populations (Savolainen et al. 2007; Kremer et al. 2010; for theoretical predictions see Kremer & Le Corre 2011).”
Differential responses to changes in growth temperature between trees from different functional groups and biomes: a review and synthesis of data. (2010, background): “Importantly, while height growth is often suboptimal at the native site in provenance studies, survival and fitness are usually optimized near the site of origin, demonstrating that local adaptation is not driven only by growth (Rehfeldt et al. 1999, Savolainen et al. 2007).”
Forest phenology and a warmer climate – growing season extension in relation to climatic provenance (2012, background): “Optimal temperatures for metabolism, growth, and phenological responses are the product of long-term adaptation to local conditions (Berry & Björkman, 1980; Carter, 1996; Chuine, 2010), even when imperfectly matched to local climate (Rehfeldt et al., 1999; Savolainen et al., 2007).”
Rapid Evolutionary Change and the Coexistence of Species (2011, background): “Density-dependent processes abound in nature on a variety of spatial scales and can include resource competition, disease, and predation or herbivory (Freckleton & Lewis 2006, Hixon et al. 2002, Rodenhouse et al. 1997, Seitz et al. 2001).”
Potential for evolutionary responses to climate change – evidence from tree populations (2013, background): “Tree species are adapted to the current climate, and they are thus potentially greatly influenced by the rapid changes in climate (Savolainen et al., 2007).”
Genetic effects of forest management practices: Global synthesis and perspectives (2014, background): “Natural selection can foster rapid local adaptation and thus can explain some of this diversity, often expressed as clines or mosaics across the distribution range of the species for key fitness-related traits such as survival, growth, phenology of growth and flowering, and resistance to drought and”
Ecological impacts and management strategies for western larch in the face of climate-change (2010, background): “Responses to selection thus determine the adaptive strategy, genetic architecture, and dispersal and establishment rates that interact to control the adjustment and adaptation to a changing climate (Ackerly 2003; Davis and Shaw 2001; Davis et al. 2005; Savolainen et al. 2007; Aitken et al. 2008).”
Biodiversity and Climate Change: Integrating Evolutionary and Ecological Responses of Species and Communities (2010, background): “…more generally for traits defining species ecological niches, is pervasive both between and within populations, suggesting a high level of local adaptation to climate at a fine scale (Savolainen et al. 2007) and a high potential to adapt to new climatic conditions (Skelly et al. 2007, Visser 2008).”
The physiology of climate change: how potentials for acclimatization and genetic adaptation will determine ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ (2010, background): “In terrestrial habitats too, both forms of adaptation to environmental variation have been reported in numerous studies of plants (Savolainen et al., 2007) and animals (Hoffmann et al.”
Forests and global change: what can genetics contribute to the major forest management and policy challenges of the twenty-first century? (2016, neutral): “maintenance of adaptive potential (Savolainen et al. 2007).”
