Invasive plants did not behave the same way everywhere. Across the continental U.S., harsh climates favored species more like natives, while mild climates favored more distinct plants, often flowering earlier. doi.org/hb5324

Vast botanical data help solve Darwin's puzzle of why some exotic plants become pests
There's a conundrum that has perplexed biologists since Charles Darwin himself. Why do some exotic species take off as invasive pests while others don't?

Climate determines the plant characteristics that favor naturalization. In cold or dry regions, successful newcomers must be similar to native plants to survive. In hot and humid regions, distinctiveness makes new plants more competitive. In PNAS: ow.ly/KFgV50YZz28
Hypothetical causal link between climate and the alternative scenarios of Darwin’s “Naturalization Conundrum” in the context of phenology.

Our results indicate that the alternative scenarios of Darwin's Naturalization Conundrum represent a continuum of outcomes structured by the relative strength of biotic vs. abiotic barriers to establishment and spread across communities. #AcademicSky #ScienceSky #Ecology #Botany #Biodiversity

Together, these results demonstrate that shifts in phenology and species ranges act synergistically to restructure the flowering seasons across the conterminous United States, revealing wide variation in the pace and direction of change among biomes.

Using millions of records, we show that phenological and range shifts affect different attributes of the season: phenological shifts primarily alter the start, end, and duration of the season; range shifts alter co-flowering diversity at seasonal peaks and the network of overlapping flowering pairs

Tadeo Ramirez-Parada @tadeorp.bsky.social · 15/11/2025
Shifts in phenology and species ranges are likely to have distinct and synergistic effects on community-level flowering patterns. However these processes have typically been studied in isolation largely due to data limitations.

New paper out! Using ~3 million observations across 2,837 species, we studied how shifts in species ranges and flowering phenology jointly impact the timing, species diversity, and network structure of the flowering season across US communities. doi.org/10.1111/gcb.... 🌎

Whether phenological reaction norms to historical T° conditions will remain adaptive under future climatic regimes is unclear. Nonetheless, our results suggest that plasticity might have historically enabled rapid phenological acclimation to a wide range of T° conditions

Tadeo Ramirez-Parada @tadeorp.bsky.social · 12/01/2024
The predominant role of plasticity was consistent among species distributed across climatic space and among ecoregions of the United States. However, the relative contributions of plasticity and adaptation varied markedly among species flowering at different times of the year

Tadeo Ramirez-Parada @tadeorp.bsky.social · 12/01/2024
We found that, among species, sensitivity patterns were much more frequently consistent with plasticity than local adaptation, but both plasticity and adaptation jointly mediated clinal variation in phenology in many species

Tadeo Ramirez-Parada @tadeorp.bsky.social · 12/01/2024
We used >1 million flowering specimens collected over 120yr representing 1,605 species to measure flowering sensitivity to T° over space and time, inferring the relative contributions of plasticity and adaptation to observed variation along T° gradients

Tadeo Ramirez-Parada @tadeorp.bsky.social · 12/01/2024
Phenology varies widely over space and time due to climate, but it is unclear whether this variation (which often affects fitness) is primarily generated by rapid organismal responses (i.e., plasticity) or local adaptation
