Microbes are likely to cryptically influence many of the processes studied by plant ecologists and evolutionary biologists. This graphic illustrates three processes: maternal environmental effects, phenotypic plasticity. and natural selection.

Opportunities to improve our understanding of the impact of photosynthetic acclimation on terrestrial #ecosystem processes under #globalchange

Graphs showing (A) the relative costs (red) and benefit (blue) of different acclimation speeds, with faster acclimation times on the left of the figure and (B) the difference in photosynthesis if acclimation is to mean (black) versus maximum (orange) light conditions. Together, these figures illustrate the costs and benefits of different acclimation strategies.

When numbers matter: Rethinking the role of gene duplication on short evolutionary timescales

By Freja Lindstedt, Qiujie Zhou & Pascal Milesi

A drawing of three wheat plants of different sizes, each with a stylized chromosome above it. The smallest wheat plant has one copy of a given gene; the middle plant has two copies of that gene; and the largest plant has three copies, which are represented by the clearer bands. The illustration was created by Milena Trabert with input from Freja Lindstedt.
