Rangewide responses of <i>Mimulus cardinalis</i> to an extreme heat event
These results demonstrate that many M. cardinalis populations may reside in environments that are below their optimum average temperature, revealing potential resiliency to future warming. However, limited evolutionary responses in M. cardinalis to the recent extreme heat wave could still indicate potential for future vulnerability to extreme climate events of increased intensity, frequency, and duration.
