Understanding spatial patterns of adaptive and neutral genetic variation in plant species is
essential for identifying conservation units and designing seed sourcing strategies for …

The ecological restoration of native plant communities requires the collection of large
amounts of seed. Use of non-local provenance seed can have detrimental consequences for …

The south-west Australian flora shows a diverse array of evolutionary patterns and
exceptionally high species diversity. A significant component of this flora consists of relictual …

An increasingly important practical application of the analysis of spatial genetic structure
within plant species is to help define the extent of local provenance seed collection zones …

The importance of genetic issues associated with the sourcing of propagules is increasingly
recognised for successful ecological restoration. A consideration of life history traits has …

Crop wild relatives–the wild cousins of cultivated plants–are increasingly recognised for
their potential to contribute to the productivity, nutritional quality and sustainability of …

Conserving adequate genetic diversity is considered crucial to in situ recovery (Commander
et al. 2018) and genomics has become an important tool contributing to biodiversity …

Societal Impact Statement Conservation seed banks maintain collections of many seed
bearing plant species, providing germplasm and data to support management of wild …

Translocations are used to conserve threatened plants, with the aim to establish viable
populations with adequate levels of genetic diversity. Yet limited understanding of how to …

Rarely assessed in the success of ecological restoration projects is the maintenance of
genetic variation in restored populations and, critically, their offspring. A founding population …
