Forest fragmentation may negatively affect plants through reduced genetic diversity and
increased population structure due to habitat isolation, decreased population size, and …

Premise To avoid inbreeding depression, plants have evolved diverse breeding systems to
favor outcrossing, such as self‐incompatibility. However, changes in biotic and abiotic …

The mating system is a central parameter of plant biology because it shapes their ecological
and evolutionary properties. Therefore, determining ecological variables that influence the …

Abstract Cercis canadensis L.(Eastern Redbud) is a small, understory tree native to the
eastern United States. This species is a popular deciduous shade tree that accounts for …

Genetic factors such as loss of genetic diversity, mutations, and inbreeding depression can
increase a populations chances of extinction, therefore it is important to understand how …

Species dispersal patterns and population genetic structure can be influenced by large
geographical features and habitat fragmentation. The Qinling Mountains are a major east …
