Many terrestrial ecosystems are fire prone, such that their composition and structure are
largely due to their fire regime. Regions subject to regular fire have exceptionally high levels …

OCBIL theory aims to develop an integrated series of hypotheses explaining the evolution
and ecology of, and best conservation practices for, biota on very old, climatically buffered …

Knowing how species respond to fire regimes is essential for ecologically sustainable
management. This axiom raises two important questions:(1) what knowledge is the most …

This advanced textbook is the first to explore the consequences of plant dispersal for
population and community dynamics, spatial patterns, and evolution. It successfully …

Genetic connectivity in plant populations is determined by gene movement within and
among populations. When populations become genetically isolated, they are at risk of loss …

Researchers in the field of molecular ecology and evolution require versatile and low‐cost
genetic typing methods. The AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) method was …

Climate change has already altered global patterns of biodiversity by modifying the
geographic distributions of species. Forecasts based on bioclimatic envelop modeling of …

The field of plant population ecology has advanced considerably in the last decade since
the first edition was published. In particular there have been substantial and ongoing …

The measurement of plant dispersal is vital for understanding plant distribution and
abundance at different scales. However, dispersal is difficult to measure and there is a lack …

Summary 1 Native recolonization of abandoned farmland in the wheat‐growing region of
western Australia is slow to non‐existent, even 45 years after abandonment. Instead, old …
