Dispersal allows species to shift their distributions in response to changing climate
conditions. As a result, dispersal is considered a key process contributing to a species' long …

Mangroves are halophytic plants belonging to diverse angiosperm families that are adapted
to highly stressful intertidal zones between land and sea. They are special, unique, and one …

Aim Coastal habitats are among the most dynamic environments on earth and are highly
vulnerable to large‐scale physical disturbance. Genetic studies of nearshore marine species …

The projected increases in sea levels are expected to affect coastal ecosystems. Tropical
communities, anchored by mangrove trees and having experienced frequent past sea level …

Background Sommeratia caseolaris is considered the most important mangrove species for
reforestation and conservation programs. Therefore, the knowledge of genetic diversity and …

Studies on biogeography are useful to understand the present and past distribution patterns
of biological diversity and their underlying environmental and historical causes. The …

The mangroves of the Sundaic biogeography region in Southeast Asia are ecologically
diverse and highly productive. The location of mangroves close to densely populated …

As typically distinctive ecotones, coastal wetlands have been narrowing between halophytic
plant communities such as mangroves, salt marsh, and seagrass. Plant invasions can be …

Higher levels of genetic diversity were reported among the central populations of many
mangrove species (Avicennia, Rhizophora, Bruguiera, Ceriops, Xylocaprus and Sonneratia) …

Aim Biogeographical barriers restrict the movement of individuals, resulting in population
divergence, genetic differentiation, endemism and speciation. Yet, some barriers …
