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 …

Aim Populations at the edge of a species' distribution range may differ substantially from
central populations. Peripheral populations may have either a high evolutionary potential or …

Small plant populations are more prone to extinction due to the loss of genetic variation
through random genetic drift, increased selfing, and mating among related individuals. To …

Aim Maintaining genetic diversity and evolutionary processes are important goals in plant
conservation. Genetic studies are increasingly undertaken but results from such studies are …

Conservation genetics focuses on understanding the role and requirement of genetic
variation for population persistence. However, considerable debate now surrounds the role …

Crop wild relatives are valuable resources for future genetic improvement. Here, we report
the de novo genome assembly of Musa itinerans, a disease-resistant wild banana relative in …

Aim Water pH and conductivity are known to be major environmental factors controlling the
species composition of nutrient‐poor wetlands. Based on the analysis of two large data sets …

Understanding intraspecific genetic variation is one of the principal requirements for the
evaluation of tree species capacity to cope with intensive climatic changes, as well as …

• Premise of the Study: Intraspecific genetic variation is essential for the performance and
evolution of species. Populations at a species' geographic range periphery receive …

Plant populations growing at the margin of their range may exhibit traits that indicate genetic
differentiation and adaptation to their local abiotic environment. Here, it was investigated …
