▪ Abstract Inbreeding depression critically influences both mating system evolution and the
persistence of small populations prone to accumulate mutations. Under some …

Inbreeding depression is a major evolutionary and ecological force that influences
population dynamics and the evolution of inbreeding‐avoidance traits such as mating …

Accumulation of deleterious mutations has important consequences for the evolution of
mating systems and the persistence of small populations. It is well established that …

We summarize the problems that populations of formerly common plants may encounter
when habitat fragmentation isolates them and reduces population size. Genetic erosion …

As part of a study of the genetics of floral adaptation and speciation in the Mimulus guttatus
species complex, we constructed a genetic linkage map of an interspecific cross between M …

1. There are myriad ways in which pollinators and herbivores can interact via the
evolutionary and behavioural responses of their host plants. 2. Given that both herbivores …

Chloroplast trnL/F and nuclear ribosomal ITS and ETS sequence data were used to analyze
phylogenetic relationships among members of tribe Mimuleae (Scrophulariaceae) and other …

It has long been assumed that inbreeding depression in haplodiploid organisms is low due
to their ability to purge genetic load in haploid males. It has been suggested that this low …

Premise of research. Phenotypic traits that consistently mediate species' responses to
environmental variation (functional traits) provide a promising approach toward generalizing …

Differential natural selection acting on populations in contrasting environments often results
in adaptive divergence in multivariate phenotypes. Multivariate trait divergence across …
