The search for loci under selection: trends, biases and progress

CW Ahrens, PD Rymer, A Stow, J Bragg… - Molecular …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Detecting genetic variants under selection using F ST outlier analysis (OA) and environmental
association analyses (EAAs) are popular approaches that provide insight into the genetic …

[HTML][HTML] AusTraits, a curated plant trait database for the Australian flora

…, A Fuchs, A Monro, F Kar, MA Adams, CW Ahrens… - Scientific data, 2021 - nature.com
We introduce the AusTraits database - a compilation of values of plant traits for taxa in the
Australian flora (hereafter AusTraits). AusTraits synthesises data on 448 traits across 28,640 …

Plant functional traits differ in adaptability and are predicted to be differentially affected by climate change

CW Ahrens, ME Andrew, RA Mazanec… - Ecology and …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change is testing the resilience of forests worldwide pushing physiological tolerance
to climatic extremes. Plant functional traits have been shown to be adapted to climate and …

Standing genomic variation within coding and regulatory regions contributes to the adaptive capacity to climate in a foundation tree species

CW Ahrens, M Byrne, PD Rymer - Molecular Ecology, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Global climate is rapidly changing, and the ability for tree species to adapt is dependent on
standing genomic variation; however, the distribution and abundance of functional and …

Repeated extreme heatwaves result in higher leaf thermal tolerances and greater safety margins

CW Ahrens, A Challis, M Byrne, A Leigh… - New …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The frequency and severity of heatwave events are increasing, exposing species to
conditions beyond their physiological limits. Species respond to heatwaves in different ways, …

Spatial, climate and ploidy factors drive genomic diversity and resilience in the widespread grass Themeda triandra

CW Ahrens, EA James, AD Miller, F Scott… - Molecular …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Global climate change poses a significant threat to natural communities around the world,
with many plant species showing signs of climate stress. Grassland ecosystems are not an …

Regarding the F‐word: The effects of data filtering on inferred genotype‐environment associations

CW Ahrens, R Jordan, J Bragg… - Molecular Ecology …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Genotype‐environment association (GEA) methods have become part of the standard
landscape genomics toolkit, yet, we know little about how to best filter genotype‐by‐sequencing …

Adaptive variation for growth and resistance to a novel pathogen along climatic gradients in a foundation tree

CW Ahrens, RA Mazanec, T Paap… - Evolutionary …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Natural ecosystems are under pressure from increasing abiotic and biotic stressors, including
climate change and novel pathogens, which are putting species at risk of local extinction, …

Intra‐specific trait variation remains hidden in the environment.
