The orchid family is the largest in the angiosperms, but little is known about the molecular basis of the significant variation they exhibit. We investigate here the transcriptomic divergence between two European terrestrial orchids, Dactylorhiza incarnata and Dactylorhiza fuchsii, and integrate these results in the context of their distinct...

Range shift is the primary short-term response of species to rapid climate change but it is hamperedby natural or anthropogenic habitat fragmentation. Fragmented habitats expose different criticalareas of a species niche to heterogeneous environmental changes resulting in uncoupled effects.Modelling species distribution under complex real-life...

Whole-genome duplication has shaped the evolution of angiosperms and other organisms, and is important for many crops. Structural reorganization of chromosomes and repatterning of gene expression are frequently observed in allopolyploids, with physiological and ecological consequences. Recurrent origins from different parental populations are...
