It is unclear how environmental change influences standing genetic variation in wild populations. Here, we characterized environmental conditions that protect vs. erode polymorphic chemical defenses in Boechera stricta (Brassicaceae), a short-lived perennial wildflower. By manipulating drought and h

Climate change can impact plant fitness and population persistence directly through changing abiotic conditions and indirectly through its effects on species interactions. Pollination and seed predation are important biotic interactions that can impact plant fitness, but their impact on population g
