Current approaches to biodiversity conservation are largely based on geographic areas,
ecosystems, ecological communities, and species, with less attention on genetic diversity …

Abstract The Southwest Australian Floristic Region (SWAFR) is a global biodiversity hotspot
with high plant diversity and endemism and a broad range of threatening processes. An …

Rare species are key targets of biodiversity conservation worldwide, but assessments of
genetic diversity and conservation priority can be impeded by limited sample size. Reduced …

Hybridisation, considered one of the major drivers of speciation in plants, commonly occurs
among many genera of grasses, including the genus Stipa L. one of the largest in the family …

High gene flow and a population structure corresponding to human rather than geographical
drivers are likely to be genetic patterns of human-dispersed plant taxa. We examined …

Aim Uniform spatial population distributions are predicted to result in lower among‐
population genetic differentiation and higher within‐population genetic diversity than …

The xeromorphic vegetation is a significant component of the Australian flora and
phylogenetic and phylogeographic analysis of xeromorphic plants provides a basis for …

Genetic structure in broadly distributed herbs may be shaped by past climate events, leading
to distinct genetic lineages, and possibly to different Evolutionary Significant Units (ESUs) …

The present paper is an overview of state of the art in plant conservation in Mediterranean-
type Ecosystems (MTEs), highlighting current studies and neglected topics. A review of the …

Dramatic range disjunction of plant populations can have significant genetic consequences
that directly influence conservation planning. Genomic technologies provide improved …
