Most plants are clonal ie able to laterally propagate by producing new genetically identical
ramets connected by specialized clonal organs. Clonality determines ramet aggregation …

Pollen-mediated gene flow and spatial genetic structure have rarely been studied in alpine
plants that are pollinated by dipteran insects. In particular, it is not clear how different floral …

Aim Habitat loss threatens plant diversity globally. Lack of plant functional connectivity
between isolated populations is often pinpointed as one of the major underlying …

Assisted gene flow interventions such as plant translocations are valuable complementary
techniques to habitat restoration. Bringing new genetic variants can contribute to increasing …

Loss of the area and connectivity of natural and semi-natural habitats impose serious
negative effects on all aspects of biodiversity. However, quantifying the effect of these …

Land use change over the past century has drastically decreased the amount of semi-
natural grasslands and jeopardises the functional connectivity, ie, exchange of genes …

Aim Recent changes in land use have led to substantial loss and fragmentation of semi‐
natural grasslands. We assessed the relative effect of current and historical landscape …

Plant translocations represent a solution for rescuing nonviable populations and recreating
population networks. An essential criterion for translocation success is genetic diversity …

Estimating contemporary effective population size (N e), sibship and parentage can be
useful for designing and monitoring plant translocations. Contemporary N e is an important …

Individual differences in male reproductive success drive genetic drift and natural selection,
altering genetic variation and phenotypic trait distributions in future generations. Therefore …
