What an incredible new paper out today in @science.org, led by Frederickson Lab member @usuitakuji.bsky.social (from his PhD work with Amy Angert)! Competition increased adaptation to warming across replicated miniaturized "landscapes" using duckweeds as a model plant community

Excited to share our new paper in which we test how competition alters adaptation at a warming range edge @science.org
We find that competition can increase adaptation to warming when there is a shared evolutionary response to both biotic and abiotic drivers of selection:

Most predictions of whether populations will adapt to warming range edges ignore species interactions. We experimentally tested whether range-edge populations can adapt to warming within a competitive...
