A decade-long study of the scarlet monkeyflower in the western United States shows how nature can adapt to climate pressure. As prolonged drought reduced populations, researchers tracked rapid genetic changes across entire genomes that improved drought tolerance. The plants evolved quickly enough to stabilize and begin recovering in the wild.

Als extreme Dürre die Bestände verringerte, entwickelten die Pflanzen rasch genetische Anpassungen über ihr gesamtes Genom, die ihre Trockenresistenz erhöhten und eine Erholung ermöglichten.
