Plant breeders require access to new genetic diversity to satisfy the demands of a growing
human population for more food that can be produced in a variable or changing climate and …

Can heritable traits in a single species affect an entire ecosystem? Recent studies show that
such traits in a common tree have predictable effects on community structure and ecosystem …

Given the explosive development of new molecular marker techniques over the last decade,
newcomers and experts alike in the field of DNA fingerprinting will find an easy-to-follow …

Illuminates the ways that cultures and political systems structure the edible environment
Everyone eats, but rarely do we investigate why we eat what we eat. Why do we love spices …

Although theory has demonstrated rather low levels of gene flow are sufficient to counteract
opposing mutation, drift, and selection, widespread recognition of the evolutionary …

The evolutionary significance of hybridization and subsequent introgression has long been
appreciated, but evaluation of the genome-wide effects of these phenomena has only …

The classic reference on weeds and invasive plants has been revised and updated. The
Third Edition of this authoritative reference provides an in-depth understanding of how …

Hybridization plays an important role in the evolution of many taxonomic groups, but large-
scale phylogenetic patterns of hybridization are poorly known. Here, we investigate patterns …

Powerful scientific techniques have caused dramatic expansion of genetically modified
crops leading to altered agricultural practices posing direct and indirect environmental …

Interbreeding between domesticated and wild animals occurs in several species. This gene
flow has long been anticipated to induce genetic changes in life-history traits of wild …
