Although the potential genetic risks associated with rare or endangered plants and small
populations have been discussed previously, the practical role of population genetics in …

Interspecific hybridization between a native and an invading plant species, or two invading
species, sometimes results in a new, sexually reproducing taxon. Several examples of such …

Following reports of dramatic declines in managed and feral honey bees from nearly every
region of North America, scientists and resource managers from the US, Mexico, and …

Consider this: Without interaction between animals and flowering plants, the seeds and fruits
that make up nearly eighty percent of the human diet would not exist. In The Forgotten …

This preface introduces a document that is unprecedented in its scope and objectives. In
August 1988 the Ecological Society of America initiated an effort to define research priorities …

In Alien Species and Evolution, biologist George W. Cox reviews and synthesizes emerging
information on the evolutionary changes that occur in plants, animals, and microbial …

Summary 1 Long‐distance dispersal events are biologically very important for plants
because they affect colonization probabilities, the probabilities of population persistence in a …

With the advent of genetic engineering, designer crops might interbreed with natural
populations. Could such romances lead to the evolution of superweeds, as some have …

This unique volume combines discussion of plant evolution with that of crop origins. The first
edition was published in 1992 by Prentice-Hall, and has now been fully revised to reflect …

We present a conceptual framework for choosing native plant material to be used in
restoration projects on the basis of ecological genetics. We evaluate both the likelihood of …
