The paper assesses mutation fitness effects in two Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes under natural conditions and finds beneficial mutations accumulate, with the poorly adapted ecotype showing higher mutation variance.

The paper shows mutation rate biases in Arabidopsis thaliana are not fully explained by variant calling errors and are supported by multiple data sets and mechanistic evidence.

The paper analyzes the metabolome of Arabidopsis thaliana mutation accumulation lines to show that high fitness mutations are less disruptive to cellular physiology and more associated with transcription regulator genes.

The paper compares pollinator diversity and plant-pollinator interactions between a restored native grassland in a botanical garden and native grasslands in the Northern Great Plains, finding higher pollinator diversity in the garden but similar community metrics.

The paper quantifies how habitat and landscape features affect plant-pollinator network structure and diversity in the Northern Great Plains.

This study identifies multiple introduction sources of North American Arabidopsis thaliana from Eurasia using genomic data and finds evidence of admixture increasing haplotype diversity and immune-related selection.

This study estimates heritability and genetic correlations of floral traits in Silene stellata using a linear mixed model and genealogy from molecular markers, finding significant heritability and positive genetic correlations.

The paper shows that mutation rates in Arabidopsis thaliana are influenced by cytogenetic features and are lower in genes with deleterious mutations, contradicting neutral expectations.
