Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation European Milium effusum populations occupy a broader climatic range than North American populations.
- Observation Milium effusum populations differ between continents in most traits and in the multivariate trait space.
- Association Flowering, leaf thickness and specific leaf area showed parallel clines to the environment between continents in Milium effusum.
- Association Reproductive height of Milium effusum showed a parallel cline to the environment between continents.
- Association Vegetative height and biomass of Milium effusum showed contrasting clines between continents.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that parallel clines for functional traits between continents reflect shared selective pressures.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that contrasting clines for plant size indicate different evolutionary trajectories.
