Climate warming may increase the frequency of cold-adapted haplotypes in alpine plants
Modelling of climate-driven range shifts commonly treats species as ecologically
homogeneous units. However, many species show intraspecific variation of climatic niches …

Flowering phenology and reproductive fitness along a mountain slope: maladaptive responses to transplantation to a warmer climate in Campanula thyrsoides
JF Scheepens, J Stöcklin - Oecologia, 2013 - Springer
In many biomes, global warming has resulted in advanced and longer growing seasons,
which has often led to earlier flowering in plant taxa. Elevational gradients are ideal to study …

Landscape‐scale deforestation decreases gene flow distance of a keystone tropical palm, Euterpe edulis Mart (Arecaceae)
Habitat loss represents one of the main threats to tropical forests, which have reached
extremely high rates of species extinction. Forest loss negatively impacts biodiversity …

Pollen limitation is not the rule in nival plants: A study from the European Central Alps
J Wagner, M Lechleitner, D Hosp - American Journal of Botany, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Seed output of high‐mountain plants in the uppermost life zones
is highly variable. One possible reason might be pollen limitation due to inadequate …

Direct tracking of pollen with quantum dots reveals surprising uniformity in dispersal distance across 11 populations of an annual plant
Premise Pollen movement is a crucial component of dispersal in seed plants. Although
pollen dispersal is well studied, methodological constraints have made it challenging to …

Limiting inbreeding in disjunct and isolated populations of a woody shrub
JF Sampson, M Byrne, N Gibson… - Ecology and …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Pollen movements and mating patterns are key features that influence population genetic
structure. When gene flow is low, small populations are prone to increased genetic drift and …

Estimates of pollen contamination and selfing in a coastal Douglas-fir seed orchard
T Kess, YA El-Kassaby - Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
Seed orchards are the link from tree breeding to reforestation programs and are theoretically
expected to function as closed, perfect populations, ensuring gain and diversity are …
