The current distribution of forest genetic resources on Earth is the result of a combination of
natural processes and human actions. Over time, tree populations have become adapted to …

Continuing advances in whole genome scale approaches integrated with other
'omic'technologies promise to revolutionise understanding about the relevance of genetic …

Aim To examine whether the tree flora of the Atlantic forest of northeastern Brazil has
experienced detectable taxonomic homogenization via the proliferation of native pioneer …

Dispersal is a key individual‐based process influencing many life‐history attributes and
scaling up to population‐level properties (eg metapopulation connectivity). A persistent …

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 …

Genetic diversity is a key factor for population survival and evolution. However,
anthropogenic habitat disturbance can erode it, making populations more prone to …

Plant conservation genetics provides tools to guide conservation and restoration efforts,
measure and monitor success, and ultimately minimize extinction risk by conserving species …

Genetic diversity (GD) in populations is important in determining the adaptive potential of
populations and is thus thought to influence whether populations decrease or increase in …

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 …

Smallholders' agroforests may be valuable for conserving tropical trees through three main
mechanisms. First, trees planted and/or retained by farmers in agricultural landscapes …
