Optimal foraging behaviour by nectavores is expected to result in a leptokurtic pollen
dispersal distribution and predominantly near-neighbour mating. However, complex social …

Many plant species have pollination and seed dispersal systems and evolutionary histories
that have produced strong genetic structuring. These genetic patterns may be consistent …

Morphological variation is common within widely distributed plant species and often raises
interesting taxonomic and evolutionary questions. We sampled eight typical inland …

Gene flow is a critical component of plant mating systems and influences population fitness.
However, pollen dispersal can be highly variable and influenced by natural and …

Madagascar is home to 208 indigenous palm species, almost all of them endemic and> 80%
of which are endangered. We undertook complete population census and sampling for …

Australia is one of the centres of diversity for Solanum and many species are found in the
arid zone with a concentration in the Brigalow belt. This region has been significantly …

Habitat fragmentation is affecting greater numbers of species as human land use
requirements increase. Melaleuca irbyana RT Baker (Myrtaceae) is an endangered tea tree …

Little remains of the Brigalow (Acacia harpophylla F. Muell. ex Benth.) woodlands of
Australia, primarily due to land clearing for grazing and agriculture. Many threatened …

Genetic analysis of rainforest vines has seldom been undertaken. Thus the genetic
implications of habitat fragmentation are largely unknown, making guidance for …
