I discuss future challenges and opportunities in genetic approaches to biodiversity
conservation. Resolving taxonomy uncertainties and identifying diverged evolutionary units …

Despite the importance of polyploidy and the increasing availability of new genomic data,
there remain important gaps in our knowledge of polyploid population genetics. These gaps …

Though polyploidy is an important aspect of the evolutionary genetics of both plants and
animals, the development of population genetic theory of polyploids has seriously lagged …

Polyploids are traditionally classified into allopolyploids and autopolyploids, based on their
evolutionary origin and their disomic or multisomic mode of inheritance. Over the past …

Few studies have described the genetic diversity within and between populations of
polyploid plant species despite the general acceptance of the importance of polyploidy in …

Geographical isolation and polyploidization are central concepts in plant evolution. The
hierarchical organization of archipelagos in this study provides a framework for testing the …

Southeastern Europe is a centre of European biodiversity, but very little is known about
factors causing the observed richness. Here, we contribute to fill this gap by reconstructing …

• Premise of the study: Contact zones between diploids and their autopolyploid descendants
represent a unique evolutionary venue for studying polyploid establishment, cytotype …

We used the Allium przewalskianum diploid–tetraploid complex on the Qinghai‐Tibetan
Plateau (QTP) as a model to examine how this complex responded to the Quaternary …

Background Effects of polyploidisation on gene flow between natural populations are little
known. Central European diploid and tetraploid populations of Arabidopsis arenosa and A …
