Most of the world's land surface is currently under human use and natural habitats remain as
fragmented samples of the original landscapes. Measuring the quality of plant progeny sired …

Movement of organisms is one of the key mechanisms shaping biodiversity, eg the
distribution of genes, individuals and species in space and time. Recent technological and …

Pollen dispersal shapes the local genetic structure of plant populations and determines the
opportunity for local selection and genetic drift, but has been well studied in few animal …

Seed and pollen dispersal shape patterns of gene flow and genetic diversity in plants.
Pollen is generally thought to travel longer distances than seeds, but seeds determine the …

The effect of non-reproductive trees and saplings as a physical barrier to pollen dispersal in
wind-pollinated species' forests has not received enough attention in the literature so far …

Trees compared to other organisms have a very high level of genetic diversity (Hamrick and
Godt 1990). As sessile long-living plants, they need this high level of genetic variation for …

Gene dispersal processes shape demographic and microevolutionary dynamics of tree
species. Gene dispersal patterns can be studied by spatially explicit methods. Spatial …

Acrocomia aculeata (Arecaceae), a palm endemic to South and Central America, is a
potential oil crop. Knowledge of the mating system of this species is limited to its …

As deforestation and urbanization continue at rapid rates in tropical regions, urban forest
patches are essential repositories of biodiversity. However, almost nothing is known about …

Roupala montana var. brasiliensis is a timber tree species native to the Cerrado and Atlantic
