As tree species vary extensively in genome size, complexity, and resource development,
reduced representation methods have been increasingly employed for the generation of …

Abstract Gonipterus scutellatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), once thought to be a single
species, is now known to reside in a complex of at least eight cryptic species. Two of these …

A traditional focus in conservation biology has been on rare species as they are often those
most at risk of decline or extinction. However, we argue in this paper that some kinds of …

1. Predicted climate change is heading in many respects into untested environmental
conditions for trees and to the reshuffling of species distributions. We explore the …

Ecologists trying to understand the value of habitat to animals must first describe the value of
resources contained in the habitat to animals and, second, they must describe spatial …

Local survival of forest tree populations under climate change depends on existing genetic
variation and their adaptability to changing environments. Responses to selection were …

Quantitative genetic approaches are often used to study evolutionary processes in
ecotoxicology. This paper focuses on the evolution of resistance to environmental …

Plants encounter a broad range of natural enemies and defend themselves in diverse ways.
The cost of defense can be reduced if a plant secondary metabolite confers resistance to …

Alpine ecosystems are seriously threatened by climate change. One of the key mechanisms
by which plants can adapt to changing environmental conditions is through evolutionary …

Myrtaceae is one of the chemically most variable and most significant essential oil yielding
plant families. Despite an abundance of chemical information, very little work has focussed …
