The increasing urban sprawl has contributed to the extensive fragmentation and reduction of
natural habitat worldwide. Urbanization has a range of adverse effects on ecosystem …

Modelling of climate-driven range shifts commonly treats species as ecologically
homogeneous units. However, many species show intraspecific variation of climatic niches …

In many biomes, global warming has resulted in advanced and longer growing seasons,
which has often led to earlier flowering in plant taxa. Elevational gradients are ideal to study …

Habitat loss represents one of the main threats to tropical forests, which have reached
extremely high rates of species extinction. Forest loss negatively impacts biodiversity …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Seed output of high‐mountain plants in the uppermost life zones
is highly variable. One possible reason might be pollen limitation due to inadequate …

Premise Pollen movement is a crucial component of dispersal in seed plants. Although
pollen dispersal is well studied, methodological constraints have made it challenging to …

Abstract Series Crocus comprises ten autumn-flowering species, including the cultivated
Crocus sativus, Saffron-Crocus. Interspecific genetic variation was examined in all species …

Aims Species diversity and genetic diversity may be affected in parallel by similar
environmental drivers. However, genetic diversity may also be affected independently by …

Pollen movements and mating patterns are key features that influence population genetic
structure. When gene flow is low, small populations are prone to increased genetic drift and …

Seed orchards are the link from tree breeding to reforestation programs and are theoretically
expected to function as closed, perfect populations, ensuring gain and diversity are …
