Both paleoclimatic change and anthropogenic habitat destruction can have adverse effects
on species demography and, in turn, could lead a species towards being endangered and …

The niche breadth–range size hypothesis states that geographic range size of a species is
positively correlated with its environmental niche breadth. We test this hypothesis and …

Recombination is critical both for accelerating adaptation and for the purging of deleterious
mutations. Chromosomal inversions can act as recombination modifiers that suppress local …

The ornithophilous species Anagyris foetida L. is a Mediterranean shrub with highly
fragmented populations and a mixed mating system. In a previous study, we analyzed the …

Understanding in the evolutionary processes, endangered mechanisms, and adaptive
evolution history are key scientific issues in conservation biology. During the past decades …

For plant species that currently have extremely small, fragmented populations, several
threats can exist. These might include, but are not limited to: lower genetic diversity that can …

Ostrya rehderiana is a famous plant species with extremely small populations. With ongoing
global climate change, the extremely small populations would face more uncertainties and …

This paper reviewed the distribution patterns, diversity hotspots, research status and
protection of rare species related to chrysanthemum. The survival and protection status of …

Kingdonia uniflora, an alpine herb, has an extremely narrow distribution and represents a
model for studying evolutionary mechanisms of species that have adapted to undisturbed …
