We examine the consequences of a short but extreme heatwave in Oregon populations of the common yellow monkeyflower (Mimulus guttatus) by leveraging a common garden experiment planted with range wide populations and observational studies of eleven local populations. In the common garden, 89% of seedlings died during the heatwav… Show more
