Although clonal species are dominant in many habitats, from unicellular organisms to plants
and animals, ecological and particularly evolutionary studies on clonal species have been …

Non-marine aquatic vascular plants generally show broad distributional ranges. Climatic
factors seem to have limited effects on their distributions, besides the determination of major …

1 In flowering plants the balance between sexual and clonal, asexual reproduction can vary
widely. We quantified variation in sexual reproduction in a tristylous, clonal, aquatic plant …

Most plants combine sexual and clonal reproduction, and the balance between the two may
vary widely between and within species. There are many anecdotal reports of plants that …

Next to its well-described ecological advantages, clonal growth in plants may incur fitness
costs, which are associated with the effects of typically large clonal individuals on the …

We examined how population age affects the relative importance of clonal propagation and
sexual reproduction in the aquatic macrophyte Sparganium erectum. Plants were collected …

Existing in suboptimal conditions is a frequent occurrence for species inhabiting the cusp of
their ecological range. In range‐edge populations of plants, the scarcity of suitable habitat …

Loropetalum subcordatum (Hamamelidaceae) is one of the most endangered angiosperm
species in China. It is narrowly distributed in a few localities in the evergreen broadleaved …

Aquatic and wetland plants tend to be very phenotypically plastic, which accounts for the
taxonomic difficulties in many groups. In the genus Sparganium, which comprises about 14 …

The aim of this paper is to highlight the questions raised by a population genetics approach
in order to discuss them in the context of seaweed populations studies. First, basic concepts …
