Dioecious plants have separate male and female individuals, and temperature sensitivity may vary between sexes. A study of a dioecious grass species, Texas Bluegrass, shows that poleward shifts will be shaped by male heat intolerance. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/full/10....
Geographic projections of population viability predicted by the female-dominant and two-sex models. Maps show past, current, and future range shifts based on the predicted probabilities of self-sustaining populations. The last panel shows the difference in geographic projections of population viability between the female-dominant model and the two-sex model for each season.

Excited to share our paper in @pnas.org with Aldo Compagnoni and Tom Miller !
Climate change may push dioecious plants toward female-biased sex ratios which will impair seed production. Ignoring this feedback underestimates range shifts. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
Forecasting range shifts of dioecious plants under climate change | PNAS
Global climate change has triggered an urgent need for predicting the reorganization of Earth’s biodiversity. For dioecious species (those with sep...
