Direct and legacy‐mediated drought effects on plant performance are species‐specific and depend on soil community composition by Buchenau, N., van Kleunen, M., Wilschut, R. A.

“…Droughts affect plant communities, but their impacts may be mediated by soil biota. Soil communities may ameliorate drought stress, and droughts may leave…”

Relatively weak inbreeding depression in selfing but also in outcrossing populations of North American Arabidopsis lyrata by Carleial, S., Kleunen, M., Stift, M.

“…Hermaphroditic plants can potentially self‐fertilize, but most possess adaptations that promote outcrossing. However, evolutionary transitions to higher…”
