Abstract The 'centre–periphery hypothesis'(CPH) is a long‐standing postulate in ecology
that states that genetic variation and demographic performance of a species decrease from …

Biotic interactions are believed to play a role in the origin and maintenance of species
diversity, and multiple hypotheses link the latitudinal diversity gradient to a presumed …

Macroclimatic variation along latitudinal gradients provides an excellent natural laboratory to
investigate the role of temperature and the potential impacts of climate warming on terrestrial …

There is growing interest in quantifying genetic population structure across the geographical
ranges of species to understand why species might exhibit stable range limits and to assess …

Flowering plants possess an unrivaled diversity of mechanisms for achieving sexual and
asexual reproduction, often simultaneously. The commonest type of asexual reproduction is …

Understanding of the determinants of species' geographic range limits remains poorly
integrated. In part, this is because of the diversity of perspectives on the issue, and because …

Although clonal species are dominant in many habitats, from unicellular organisms to plants
and animals, ecological and particularly evolutionary studies on clonal species have been …

Abstract genclone 1.0 is designed for studying clonality and its spatial components using
genotype data with molecular markers from haploid or diploid organisms. genclone 1.0 …

Polyploidy has the potential to allow organisms to outcompete their diploid progenitor (s)
and occupy new environments. Shark Bay, Western Australia, is a World Heritage Area …

Most plants combine sexual and clonal reproduction, and the balance between the two may
vary widely between and within species. There are many anecdotal reports of plants that …
