Matches and mismatches between the global distribution of major food crops and climate suitability.
Over the course of history, humans have moved crops from their regions of origin to new locations across the world. The social, cultural and economic drivers of these movements have generated differences not only between current distributions of crops and their climatic origins, but also between crop distributions and climate...Mahaut, Lucie ; Pironon, Samuel ; Barnagaud, Jean-Yves ; Bretagnolle, François ; Khoury, Colin K. …

Plant agrodiversity to the rescue
Agricultural systems are vulnerable to climate change, and global reservoirs of plant genetic diversity are proving to be a valuable means of crop adaptation. A study now shows that production of sweet potato is at risk from extreme heat events, but a few tolerant cultivars can still thrive and potentially...Pironon, Samuel ; Soto Gomez, Marybel

Incorporating intraspecific variation into species distribution models improves distribution predictions, but cannot predict species traits for a wide‐spread plant species
The most common approach to predicting how species ranges and ecological functions will shift with climate change is to construct correlative species distribution models (SDMs). These models use a species’ climatic distribution to determine currently suitable areas for the species and project its potential distribution under future climate scenarios. A... -

A strong east–west Mediterranean divergence supports a new phylogeographic history of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua, Leguminosae) and multiple domestications from native populations
Aim Phylogeography of fruit trees is challenging due to recurrent exchanges between domesticated and wild populations. Here we tested the eastern refugium hypothesis (ERH) for the carob tree, Ceratonia siliqua, which supports its natural and domestication origins in the eastern Mediterranean and a feral origin in the west. Location... -

Shifts in the abiotic and biotic environment of cultivated sunflower under future climate change
Sunflower is a unique model species for assessing crop responses and adaptation to climate change. We provide an initial assessment of how climate change may influence the abiotic and biotic environment of cultivated sunflower across the world. We find an 8% shift between current and future climate space in cultivated...Mehrabi, Zia ; Pironon, Samuel ; Kantar, Michael ; Ramankutty, Navin ; Rieseberg, Loren

Phylogeography and post-glacial dynamics in the clonal-sexual orchid Cypripedium calceolus L
Aim We investigated the phylogeographical history of a clonal-sexual orchid, to test the hypothesis that current patterns of genetic diversity and differentiation retain the traces of climatic fluctuations and of the species reproductive system. Location Europe, Siberia and Russian Far East. Taxon Cypripedium calceolus L. (Orchidaceae). Methods Samples (>900, from...Gargiulo, Roberta ; Pironon, Samuel ; Zheleznaya, Ekaterina ; Sanchez, Michele ; Balázs, Zoltan …
