Although theory has demonstrated rather low levels of gene flow are sufficient to counteract
opposing mutation, drift, and selection, widespread recognition of the evolutionary …

DNA microsatellites provide plant ecologists with molecular markers precise enough to
assign parentage to seeds and seedlings. This allows the exact distance and trajectory of …

Translocations are being increasingly proposed as a way of conserving biodiversity,
particularly in the management of threatened and keystone species, with the aims of …

This assessment of the vulnerability of Australia's biodiversity to climate change was begun
in early 2007 in response to a request from the Natural Resource Management Ministerial …

Over the past century, the Brazilian Atlantic forest has been reduced to small, isolated
fragments of forest. Reproductive isolation theories predict a loss of genetic diversity and …

Most woody plants are animal-pollinated, but the global problem of habitat fragmentation is
changing the pollination dynamics. Consequently, the genetic diversity and fitness of the …

Revegetation can provide major environmental benefits in degraded landscapes, but there
is also potential for negative impacts from genetic change in local native populations. Broad …

The purpose of this paper is to review studies relevant to potential climate change impacts
on natural stands of eucalypts, with a view to identifying not only specific lessons for the …

Speciation is a complex process that is fundamental to the origins of biological diversity.
While there has been considerable progress in our understanding of speciation, there are …

Aim To investigate the relationships between species attributes and genetic parameters in
Australian plant species and to determine the associations in relation to predictions from …
