Populations are locally adapted when populations have the highest relative fitness at their
home sites, and lower fitness in other parts of the range. Results from the extensive …

The dispersal process, by which individuals or other dispersing agents such as gametes or
seeds move from birthplace to a new settlement locality, has important consequences for the …

Dispersal distance, the Euclidian distance between 'start'and 'end'points of a dispersal
event, is recognized as a fundamental characteristic of the dispersal process, defined here …

Dispersal is universally considered important for biodiversity conservation. However, the
significance of long‐as opposed to short‐distance dispersal is insufficiently recognized in …

Genetic connectivity in plant populations is determined by gene movement within and
among populations. When populations become genetically isolated, they are at risk of loss …

Rapid climate change jeopardizes tree populations by shifting current climate zones. To
avoid extinction, tree populations must tolerate, adapt, or migrate. Here we investigate …

The question of how far pollen can move between plants has implications for topics as
diverse as habitat fragmentation, conservation management, and the containment of …

Trees are constantly exposed to climate fluctuations, which vary with both time and
geographic location. Environmental changes that are outside of the physiological favorable …

Despite the typically low population densities and animal-mediated pollination of tropical
forest trees, outcrossing and long-distance pollen dispersal are the norm. We reviewed the …

The main environmental concerns about genetically modified (GM) crops are the potential
weediness or invasiveness in the crop itself or in its wild or weedy relatives as a result of …
