Geographic variation in genetic and demographic performance: new insights from an old biogeographical paradigm
Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

Evolution of selfing: recurrent patterns in molecular adaptation
KK Shimizu, T Tsuchimatsu - Annual Review of Ecology …, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Selfing has evolved in animals, fungi, and plants, and since Darwin's pioneering study, it is
considered one of the most frequent evolutionary trends in flowering plants. Generally, the …

Extensive sequence duplication in Arabidopsis revealed by pseudo-heterozygosity
Background It is apparent that genomes harbor much structural variation that is largely
undetected for technical reasons. Such variation can cause artifacts when short-read …

Accumulation of mutational load at the edges of a species range
Why species have geographically restricted distributions is an unresolved question in
ecology and evolutionary biology. Here, we test a new explanation that mutation …

Geographic range size is predicted by plant mating system
D Grossenbacher, R Briscoe Runquist… - Ecology …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Species' geographic ranges vary enormously, and even closest relatives may differ in range
size by several orders of magnitude. With data from hundreds of species spanning 20 …

Do geographic, climatic or historical ranges differentiate the performance of central versus peripheral populations?
S Pironon, J Villellas, WF Morris… - Global Ecology and …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Aim The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) predicts that species performance (genetics,
physiology, morphology, demography) will decline gradually from the centre towards the …

Beyond the thale: comparative genomics and genetics of Arabidopsis relatives
For decades a small number of model species have rightly occupied a privileged position in
laboratory experiments, but it is becoming increasingly clear that our knowledge of biology is …

Recent speciation associated with range expansion and a shift to self-fertilization in North American Arabidopsis
The main processes classically evoked for promoting reproductive isolation and speciation
are geographic separation reducing gene flow among populations, divergent selection, and …

Adaptation across geographic ranges is consistent with strong selection in marginal climates and legacies of range expansion
Every species experiences limits to its geographic distribution. Some evolutionary models
predict that populations at range edges are less well adapted to their local environments …

Is the central‐marginal hypothesis a general rule? Evidence from three distributions of an expanding mangrove species, Avicennia germinans (L.) L
The central‐marginal hypothesis (CMH) posits that range margins exhibit less genetic
diversity and greater inter‐population genetic differentiation compared to range cores. CMH …
