Conservation of genetic diversity, one of the three main forms of biodiversity, is a
fundamental concern in conservation biology as it provides the raw material for evolutionary …

OCBIL theory aims to develop an integrated series of hypotheses explaining the evolution
and ecology of, and best conservation practices for, biota on very old, climatically buffered …

A compilation was made of 307 studies using nuclear DNA markers for evaluating among‐
and within‐population diversity in wild angiosperms and gymnosperms. Estimates derived …

This completely revised, fourth edition of Introduction to Plant Population Biology continues
the approach taken by its highly successful predecessors. Ecological and genetic principles …

Since the first edition of this book published in 2005, there has been an immense amount of
new and fascinating work on the history, ecology, and evolution of the Mediterranean flora …

Summary 1 Relationships between plant population size, fitness and within‐population
genetic diversity are fundamental for plant ecology, evolution and conservation. We …

A compilation of studies using RAPD markers for evaluating population differentiation
resulted in 78 estimates of AMOVA-derived ΦST and 31 estimates of Nei's GST, as well as in …

Small plant populations are more prone to extinction due to the loss of genetic variation
through random genetic drift, increased selfing, and mating among related individuals. To …

The study of variability within species is important to all biologists who use genetic markers.
Since the discovery of molecular variability among normal individuals, data have been …

Shrubs and trees are assumed less likely to lose genetic variation in response to habitat
fragmentation because they have certain life‐history characteristics such as long lifespans …
