Lipids have been observed attached to lumen‐facing surfaces of mature xylem conduits of
several plant species, but there has been little research on their functions or effects on water …

Evolutionary radiations with extreme levels of diversity present a unique opportunity to study
the role of the environment in plant evolution. If environmental adaptation played an …

• Premise of the study: Trait integration may improve prediction of species and lineage
responses to future climate change more than individual traits alone, particularly when analyses …

Premise In semiarid regions, decreasing rainfall presents a challenge to perennial seedlings
that must reach sufficient size to survive the first year’s seasonal drought. Attaining a large …

Functional traits in closely related lineages are expected to vary similarly along common
environmental gradients as a result of shared evolutionary and biogeographic history, or legacy …

Premise of research. By adjusting leaf angles to orient toward or away from the sun, solar
tracking modifies direct light interception, which consequently modifies leaf temperature. Leaf …

Premise The functional significance of leaf margins has long been debated. In this study, we
explore influences of climate, leaf lobing, woodiness, and shared evolutionary history on …

Solar tracking affects leaf temperature through the amount of direct light intercepting the
lamina. However, leaf shape also affects leaf temperature due to heat transfer across boundary …

Plant responses to drought impact the distribution and persistence of species yet are usually
assessed over time frames that may not reflect dynamic stomatal responses, ie isohydry …
