Although theory has demonstrated rather low levels of gene flow are sufficient to counteract
opposing mutation, drift, and selection, widespread recognition of the evolutionary …

In this paper the environmental impact of current agriculture practices is reviewed. Soil loss
(along with soil fertility), increasing water demand from agricultural practices and …

Species can be defined as populations that are diagnosably distinct, reproductively isolated,
cohesive, or exclusive groups of organisms. Boundaries between species in sympatry are …

Powerful scientific techniques have caused dramatic expansion of genetically modified
crops leading to altered agricultural practices posing direct and indirect environmental …

Genetically-modified, colour-altered varieties of the important cut-flower crop carnation have
now been commercially available for nearly ten years. In this review we describe the …

Foraging range, an important component of bee ecology, is of considerable interest for
insect-pollinated plants because it determines the potential for outcrossing among …

Potential safety issues have been raised with the development and release of virus-resistant
transgenic plants. This review focuses on safety assessment with a special emphasis on …

The question we address in this article is how hybridization in the recent past can be
detected in recently evolved species. Such species may not have evolved genetic …

In this paper, we address several issues related to seaweed domestication from an
evolutionary and ecological perspective. We briefly cover the history of human interactions …

During the efficient genetic transformation of plants with the gene of interest, some
selectable marker genes are also used in order to identify the transgenic plant cells or …
