The S outh A merican continent is composed of several biogeographical regions harbouring
the highest biodiversity on the globe, encompassing five of the world's biodiversity 'hot …

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 …

Abstract Aim The tropical Andes are a world biodiversity hotspot. With diverse biomes and
dramatic, geologically recent mountain uplift, they offer a system to study the relative …

Landscape genetics is the amalgamation of landscape ecology and population genetics to
help with understanding microevolutionary processes such as gene flow and adaptation. In …

A cost or resistance surface is a representation of a landscape's permeability to animal
movement or gene flow and is a tool for measuring functional connectivity in landscape …

Aim Mangroves are intertidal plants with sea‐dispersed propagules, hence their population
structure can offer valuable insights into the biogeographical processes driving population …

Biological dispersal is increasingly seen as a primary driver of speciation across the tropical
Andes. Similarly, growing evidence suggests that the Northern Andes cordilleras formed as …

Animal pollinators mediate gene flow among plant populations, but in contrast to well‐
studied topographic and (Pleistocene) environmental isolating barriers, their impact on …

Landscape genetics is increasingly transitioning away from microsatellites, with single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) providing increased resolution for detecting patterns of …

We review resilience to natural and anthropogenic disturbance of palm populations and
communities in tropical America. Response of palms to disturbance depends on their …
