Summary 1 Small and isolated populations of species are susceptible to loss of genetic
diversity, owing to random genetic drift and inbreeding. This loss of diversity may reduce the …

Apomixis, the asexual production of seed, is a trait estimated to occur in fewer than 1% of
flowering plant species, with an uneven distribution among lineages. In the past decade …

Conservation genetics focuses on understanding the role and requirement of genetic
variation for population persistence. However, considerable debate now surrounds the role …

The study and characterization of natural systems involves the evaluation of their diversity
and the identification and definition of processes and fluxes operating at different temporal …

Abstract Giant Amazon river turtles, Podocnemis expansa, are indigenous to the Amazon,
Orinoco, and Essequibo River basins, and are distributed across nearly the entire width of …

Background and Aims Genetic structure and variability were examined in the only three
extant populations of the narrow‐endemic tree Antirhea aromatica (Rubiaceae …

The genetic diversity in Zanthoxylum species viz. Zanthoxylum nitidum, Zanthoxylum
oxyphyllum and Zanthoxylum rhesta collected from the Upper Brahmaputra Valley Zone of …

We used randomizations to analyse patterns of co-occurrence of sexual and apomictic
(asexual) members of the North American Crepis agamic complex (Asteraceae). We expect …

Genetic diversity existing amongst five Eulophia orchid species were assessed using start
codon targeted polymorphism (SCoT) and inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism …

Authors who attempt to identify genetically distinct con-servation units based on molecular
marker data publish frequently in scientific journals, including Conservation Biology (Haig et …
