Spatial genetic structure (SGS) of plants results from the nonrandom distribution of related
individuals. SGS provides information on gene flow and spatial patterns of genetic diversity …

As primarily sessile organisms, plants often show a non-random spatial distribution of
genotypes over distance. This process known as fine-scale spatial genetic structure (FSGS) …

Pollen and seed dispersal are key processes affecting the demographic and evolutionary
dynamics of plant species and are also important considerations for the sustainable …

Abstract Most Central African rainforest canopies consist of light-demanding tree species
that hold high commercial value but also suffer locally from regeneration deficits, raising …

 Abstract Caesalpinioideae is the second largest subfamily of legumes (Leguminosae) with
ca. 4680 species and 163 genera. It is an ecologically and economically important group …

Mating system and gene flow are major influencing factors of species population dynamics
and evolution. These factors are often not characterized in tropical tree species, yet they …

Abstract Background and Aims Many plants exhibit a mixed mating system. Published
models suggest that this might be an evolutionarily stable rather than a transitional state …

Seed dispersal by frugivores is a key process which is necessary for the regeneration of
plant communities. The decrease in the abundance of fruit-eating mammals due to …

Seed and pollen dispersal are important for defining sustainable forest management
practices. By reducing population density, selective logging could affect not only the seed …

Dipteryx alata (Fabaceae) is a threatened tropical tree of the Brazilian Savanna. Due to
deforestation of its biome, many individuals and populations are now spatially isolated in …
