H abitat fragmentation-the reduction of continuous habitat into several smaller spatially
isolated remnants-is a significant threat to the maintenance of biodiversity in many terrestrial …

Climate change is happening due to natural factors and human activities. It expressively
alters biodiversity, agricultural production, and food security. Mainly, narrowly adapted and …

We conducted an analysis of global forest cover to reveal that 70% of remaining forest is
within 1 km of the forest's edge, subject to the degrading effects of fragmentation. A synthesis …

Genetic diversity at nine isozyme loci was surveyed in an endangered tree species, the
argan tree, endemic to south-western Morocco. The species is highly diverse (3.6 …

Attempts to relate estimates of regional FST to gene flow and drift via Wright's (1931)
equation FST≈ 1/(4 Nm+ 1) are often inappropriate because most natural sets of …

The pervasive influence of island biogeography theory on forest fragmentation research has
often led to a misleading conceptualization of landscapes as areas of forest/habitat and 'non …

The past decade has seen a rapid increase in the number of studies dealing with the genetic
consequences of habitat fragmentation, in large part because of the increasing accessibility …

Understanding the processes by which species colonize and adapt to human habitats is
particularly important in the case of disease-vectoring arthropods. The mosquito species …

Conservation genetics utilizes the tools and concepts of genetics and applies them to
problems in conservation biology. For example, molecular genetic techniques, such as …

Large areas of continuous tropical forests are rapidly becoming fragmented as a result of
human activities, prompting a growing need for Information on the reproductive and genetic …
