Phylogenetic and trait-based assembly of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communitiesHafiz Maherali
Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada
PLoS ONE 7:e36695. 2012....
Adaptive value and costs of physiological plasticity to soil moisture limitation in recombinant inbred lines of Avena barbataHafiz Maherali
Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1, Canada
Am Nat 175:211-24. 2010..Our results suggest that costs are less likely to constrain the evolution of adaptive plasticity in A. barbata than genetic variation for plasticity...
Genome duplication and the evolution of physiological responses to water stressHafiz Maherali
Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON N1G 2W1, Canada
New Phytol 184:721-31. 2009..angustifolium are unlikely to be caused solely by genome duplication. The enhanced ability of tetraploids to survive water stress likely evolved after polyploidization...
Leaf hydraulic conductivity and photosynthesis are genetically correlated in an annual grassHafiz Maherali
Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, 50 Stone Road East, Guelph, Ontario N1G2W1, Canada
New Phytol 180:240-7. 2008..The presence of significant genetic variation and covariation for these traits in natural populations would facilitate correlated evolution between xylem and leaf functions...
Influence of phylogeny on fungal community assembly and ecosystem functioningHafiz Maherali
Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1G 2W1
Science 316:1746-8. 2007....
Functional coordination between leaf gas exchange and vulnerability to xylem cavitation in temperate forest treesHafiz Maherali
Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1, Canada

The adaptive significance of ontogenetic changes in physiology: a test in Avena barbataHafiz Maherali
Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada
New Phytol 183:908-18. 2009..We demonstrate that ontogenetic changes in physiological traits can increase fitness but the adaptive value of these changes varies among traits and environments...
The adaptive significance of drought escape in Avena barbata, an annual grassMark E Sherrard
Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario N1G 2WI, Canada
Evolution 60:2478-89. 2006..Our results suggest that the benefit of increased photosynthesis for plant fitness may be strongest in the absence of drought stress...
Determining a minimum detection threshold in terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysisKevin C Courtney
Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, 50 Stone Road East, Guelph, ON, Canada N1G 2 W1
J Microbiol Methods 88:14-8. 2012..The results of this experiment suggest T-RFLP is a reproducible and high fidelity procedure, which requires careful data interpretation in order to accurately characterize sample diversity...
Water stress alters the genetic architecture of functional traits associated with drought adaptation in Avena barbataMark E Sherrard
Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1, Canada
Evolution 63:702-15. 2009....
Gender-specific floral and physiological traits: implications for the maintenance of females in gynodioecious Lobelia siphiliticaChristina M Caruso
Departments of Biology and Mathematics, Grinnell College, Grinnell, IA 50112, USA
Oecologia 135:524-31. 2003..Our data suggest that increased resource acquisition by females at pre-reproductive stages can also contribute to the maintenance of gender dimorphism in gynodioecious species...
Genetic variance and covariance for physiological traits in Lobelia: are there constraints on adaptive evolution?Christina M Caruso
Department of Biology and Mathematics, Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa 50112, USA
Evolution 59:826-37. 2005..cardinalis are caused primarily by a lack of genetic variation, rather than by genetic correlations between these functionally related traits...
Plant kin recognition enhances abundance of symbiotic microbial partnerAmanda L File
Department of Biology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
PLoS ONE 7:e45648. 2012..Here we determine whether kin selection may favour plant investment in the mycorrhizal network, reducing the incentive to cheat when relatives interact with a single network...
Plasticity of physiology in Lobelia: testing for adaptation and constraintChristina M Caruso
Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada
Evolution 60:980-90. 2006..Physiological responses to drought in plants are presumed to be adaptive, but our data suggest that much of this plasticity can be adaptively neutral or maladaptive...
Xylem function and climate adaptation in PinusChris Creese
Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1, Canada
Am J Bot 98:1437-45. 2011....
