Warnings/Cautions when collecting Brassica diversity along a large climatic gradient

The paper warns about misidentification issues in collecting Brassica species along a climatic gradient and reports findings on genetic diversity and misidentified populations.

Identity and provenance of neighbors, genotype-specific traits and abiotic stress affect intraspecific interactions in the annual legume Medicago truncatula

The paper investigates how genotype-specific traits, abiotic stress, and neighbor identity influence intraspecific interactions in Medicago truncatula, finding that non-kin neighbors promote growth more than kin under low stress.

Evolution of flowering time in a selfing annual plant: Roles of adaptation and genetic drift

The paper uses a resurrection study to analyze flowering time evolution in a selfing Medicago truncatula population, finding evidence of adaptation but also suggesting drift could explain the observed changes.

Power and limits of selection genome scans on temporal data from a selfing population

The paper evaluates the power of selection scans in selfing populations and finds that detecting selection remains challenging despite method adaptations.

Hidden genetic variance contributes to increase the short-term adaptive potential of selfing populations

The paper shows selfing populations can maintain and remobilize genetic variance under stabilizing selection, enabling adaptation comparable to outcrossing populations when mutation rates are high.
