Biological invasions are caused by human-mediated extra-range dispersal and, unlike
natural extra-range dispersal, are often the result of multiple introductions from multiple …

• Premise of the study: Archaeological and genetic analyses of seed‐propagated annual
crops have greatly advanced our understanding of plant domestication and evolution …

Species distribution modeling (SDM: statistical and/or mechanistic approaches to the
assessment of range determinants and prediction of species occurrence) offers new …

Rain forests represent the world's richest repository of terrestrial biodiversity, and play a
major role in regulating the global climate. They support the livelihoods of a substantial …

Gene flow via seed and pollen is a primary determinant of genetic and species diversity in
plant communities at different spatial scales. This paper reviews studies of gene flow and …

The study of past forest change provides a necessary historical context for evaluating the
