Birds are one of the most diverse groups of ecosystem service providers, whose ecological
functions range from creating soil to shaping primate behavior, Nevertheless, the impression …

Landscape genetics has seen rapid growth in number of publications since the term was
coined in 2003. An extensive literature search from 1998 to 2008 using keywords associated …

Small plant populations are more prone to extinction due to the loss of genetic variation
through random genetic drift, increased selfing, and mating among related individuals. To …

Shrubs and trees are assumed less likely to lose genetic variation in response to habitat
fragmentation because they have certain life‐history characteristics such as long lifespans …

Forest conservation has become one of the most important environmental issues currently
facing humanity, as a result of widespread deforestation and forest degradation. Pressures …

Theory predicts widespread loss of genetic diversity from drift and inbreeding in trees
subjected to habitat fragmentation, yet empirical support of this theory is scarce. We argue …

Habitat fragmentation poses a serious threat to plants through genetic changes associated
with increased isolation and reduced population size. However, the longevity of trees …

Networks are ubiquitous in natural, technological and social systems. They are of increasing
relevance for improved understanding and control of infectious diseases of plants, animals …

Despite longstanding research, how anthropogenic disturbance affects the genetics of tree
populations remains poorly understood. Although empirical evidence often conflicts with …

Pollination and seed dispersal determine the spatial pattern of gene flow in plant
populations and, for those species relying on pollinators and frugivores as dispersal vectors …
