Simpson K, Archibald S, Osborne C
Trends Ecol Evol
. 2022 May;
37(9):749-758.
PMID: 35577616
Grasses fuel most fires on Earth and strongly influence local fire behaviour through traits that determine how flammable they are. Therefore, grass communities that differ in their species and trait...

Mohammad V, Osborne C, Freckleton R
Ecol Evol
. 2022 Feb;
12(2):e8563.
PMID: 35222951
Globally, herbicide resistance in weeds poses a threat to food security. Resistance evolves rapidly through the co-option of a suite of physiological mechanisms that evolved to allow plants to survive...

Bianconi M, Sotelo G, Curran E, Milenkovic V, Samaritani E, Dunning L, et al.
Plant Cell Environ
. 2022 Feb;
45(5):1398-1411.
PMID: 35201618
C photosynthesis is thought to have evolved via intermediate stages, with changes towards the C phenotype gradually enhancing photosynthetic performance. This hypothesis is widely supported by modelling studies, but experimental...

Gomez-Fernandez A, Osborne C, Rees M, Palomino J, Ingala C, Gomez G, et al.
New Phytol
. 2021 Nov;
233(2):995-1010.
PMID: 34726792
Growth rates vary widely among plants with different strategies. For crops, evolution under predictable and high-resource environments might favour rapid resource acquisition and growth, but whether this strategy has consistently...

Falster D, Gallagher R, Wenk E, Wright I, Indiarto D, Andrew S, et al.
Sci Data
. 2021 Oct;
8(1):254.
PMID: 34593819
We introduce the AusTraits database - a compilation of values of plant traits for taxa in the Australian flora (hereafter AusTraits). AusTraits synthesises data on 448 traits across 28,640 taxa...

Milla R, Osborne C
Nat Plants
. 2021 May;
7(5):598-607.
PMID: 33986525
Human food production is dominated globally by a small number of crops. Why certain crops have attained high agricultural relevance while others have remained minor might partially stem from their...

Preece C, Jones G, Rees M, Osborne C
Ecol Evol
. 2021 Apr;
11(7):3300-3312.
PMID: 33841785
Cereal domestication during the transition to agriculture resulted in widespread food production, but why only certain species were domesticated remains unknown. We tested whether seedlings of crop progenitors share functional...

Jardine E, Thomas G, Osborne C
Ecol Evol
. 2021 Mar;
11(6):2669-2680.
PMID: 33767828
Species distributions are closely associated with moisture availability, but the underlying mechanisms remain unresolved. Drought relations are especially important for plants such as C grasses that dominate seasonally dry ecosystems....

. 2021 Mar;
592(7853):242-247.
PMID: 33762735
One of the most notable ecological trends-described more than 2,300 years ago by Theophrastus-is the association of small leaves with dry and cold climates, which has recently been recognized for...

Mol Ecol
. 2021 Mar;
30(9):2116-2130.
PMID: 33682242
Geographical isolation facilitates the emergence of distinct phenotypes within a single species, but reproductive barriers or selection are needed to maintain the polymorphism after secondary contact. Here, we explore the...
