Trait variability can buffer populations against stress, but harnessing this for restoration is proving tricky. Lab alum Ella Samuel finds that diversity in seed source plant populations is not predictive of variability or performance in a common garden.

Intraspecific trait variability in wild plant populations predicts neither variability nor performance in a common garden
Dryland restoration requires plant materials capable of performing well despite difficult growing conditions. Selecting plant materials with higher intraspecific trait variability (ITV) may support s...

One of my favourite parts of grad school was getting to dig in and learn new methods for data collection and analysis. One of my favourite things now is supporting students doing this, especially when it means two new big papers for our group, both OA! doi.org/10.1111/pce.... doi.org/10.1002/ece3...
Hyperspectral Leaf Reflectance Detects Interactive Genetic and Environmental Effects on Tree Phenotypes, Enabling Large‐Scale Monitoring and Restoration Planning Under Climate Change
By growing the same locally adapted populations in reciprocal common gardens, we found that leaf reflectance can detect both genetic identity and phenotypic plasticity in Fremont cottonwood, an impor....

It seems we have a great Bluesky momentum, so many interesting feeds and starter packs! But I feel that perhaps something is still missing... 💦🐸🦆🦠🌱🐟🐢🔵
Any pond ecologists, EPCN members out there?
