Heat waves decrease fitness and alter maternal provisioning in natural populations of <i>Mimulus guttatus</i>
These results suggest that the consequences of heat waves will depend on the relative severity and timing of the heat wave in the growing season, and further suggest that this timing may have amplified longer-term impacts because offspring have less provisioning. Specifically, with growing seasons shifting earlier into the spring, later or slower germination could exacerbate population extirpation risk.
