🔥 Fire-stimulated flowering appears to be an adaptive strategy that helps plants maximize reproductive success in fire-prone ecosystems. Fire may play a major role in shaping plant life-history evolution in Mediterranean habitats. (7/7)

Urbanization shapes evolution through both chance (drift, colonization history) and selection, and new species interactions can rapidly rewrite that evolutionary story. (9/9)

🌍 Alpine ecosystems are already climate-sensitive. If early life stages are compromised, long-term persistence of alpine species could be at risk.
Climate change doesn’t just affect adult plants, it reshapes the next generation. (9/9)
