Small populations are predicted to perform poorly relative to large populations when experiencing environmental change. To explore this prediction in nature,data from reciprocal transplant, common garden, and translocation studies were compared meta-analytically. We contrasted changes in performance resulting from transplantation to new environments among individuals originating from different…
