Phylogenetic overdispersion in Floridian oak communitiesJ Cavender-Bares
Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, Edgewater, Maryland 21037, USA
Am Nat 163:823-43. 2004..We hypothesize further that certain conserved traits permit coexistence of distantly related congeners. These results provide an explanation for how oak diversity is maintained at the community level in North Central Florida...
Evidence for a freezing tolerance-growth rate trade-off in the live oaks (Quercus series Virentes) across the tropical-temperate divideKari Koehler
Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, University of Minnesota, 1987 Upper Buford Circle, Saint Paul, MN 55108, USA
New Phytol 193:730-44. 2012..Limited variation within species indicates that the distributions of species may be driven more strongly by broad climatic factors than by highly local conditions...
The merging of community ecology and phylogenetic biologyJeannine Cavender-Bares
Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, University of Minnesota, St Paul, MN 55108, USA
Ecol Lett 12:693-715. 2009..Harnessing phylogenetic information to understand and forecast changes in diversity and dynamics of communities is a critical step in managing and restoring the Earth's biota in a time of rapid global change...
Changes in ectomycorrhizal community structure on two containerized oak hosts across an experimental hydrologic gradientJ Cavender-Bares
Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior, University of Minnesota, 1987 Upper Buford Circle, Saint Paul, MN 55108, USA
Mycorrhiza 19:133-42. 2009..These results demonstrate that the structure of ECM fungal communities depends on both the abiotic and biotic environments and can shift with changes in soil moisture as well as host plant, even within the same genus...
Chilling and freezing stress in live oaks (Quercus section Virentes): intra- and inter-specific variation in PS II sensitivity corresponds to latitude of originJeannine Cavender-Bares
Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, University of Minnesota, 1987 Upper Buford Circle, St Paul, MN 55108, USA
Photosynth Res 94:437-53. 2007..These results indicate important ecotypic differences in sensitivity to freezing and cold stress between the two populations of Q. virginiana as well as between the two species, corresponding to their climates of origin...
Atmospheric and soil drought reduce nocturnal conductance in live oaksJeannine Cavender-Bares
Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, 1987 Upper Buford Circle, University of Minnesota, St Paul, MN 55108, USA
Tree Physiol 27:611-20. 2007..These results indicate that, during drought, saplings of live oak species reduce g to a minimum through stomatal closure, and experience unavoidable water loss through the epidermis...
Phylogenetic structure of Floridian plant communities depends on taxonomic and spatial scaleJeannine Cavender-Bares
Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior, University of Minnesota, St Paul, Minnesota 55108, USA
Ecology 87:S109-22. 2006..At the broader taxonomic scale, traits tend to be conserved, giving rise to phylogenetic clustering. The shift from overdispersion to clustering can be explained by the increasing conservatism of traits at broader phylogenetic scales...
Summer and winter sensitivity of leaves and xylem to minimum freezing temperatures: a comparison of co-occurring Mediterranean oaks that differ in leaf lifespanJ Cavender-Bares
Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, University of Minnesota, St Paul, MN, USA
New Phytol 168:597-612. 2005..By contrast, the inability of the deciduous oaks to maintain photosynthetic and vascular function throughout the winter indicates a competitive disadvantage that may prevent them from expanding their ranges...
Southward Pleistocene migration of Douglas-fir into Mexico: phylogeography, ecological niche modeling, and conservation of 'rear edge' populationsPaul F Gugger
Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, University of Minnesota, Saint Paul, MN 55108, USA
New Phytol 189:1185-99. 2011....
Phylogeography of Douglas-fir based on mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA sequences: testing hypotheses from the fossil recordPaul F Gugger
Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior, University of Minnesota, Saint Paul, MN 55108, USA
Mol Ecol 19:1877-97. 2010..Postglacial migration rates were 50-165 m/year, insufficient to track projected 21st century warming in some regions. Although fossil and genetic data largely agree, each provides unique insights...
Why are evergreen leaves so contrary about shade?Christopher H Lusk
Department of Biological Science, Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW 2109, Australia
Trends Ecol Evol 23:299-303. 2008....
The worldwide leaf economics spectrumIan J Wright
Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University, New South Wales 2109, Australia
Nature 428:821-7. 2004..Reliable quantification of the leaf economics spectrum and its interaction with climate will prove valuable for modelling nutrient fluxes and vegetation boundaries under changing land-use and climate...
