Recent studies illustrate the emerging field of restoration genetics, which is a synthesis of
restoration ecology and population genetics. The translocation of organisms during the …

Global change (climate change together with other worldwide anthropogenic processes
such as increasing trade, air pollution and urbanization) will affect plant health at the …

We present a conceptual framework for choosing native plant material to be used in
restoration projects on the basis of ecological genetics. We evaluate both the likelihood of …

The transplantation of eelgrass (Zostera marina) for mitigation results in reduced genetic
diversity among individuals and populations in southern California, the Chesapeake Bay …

Development of suitable approaches to the analysis of genetic diversity in a spatial context,
where factors such as pollination, seed dispersal, breeding system, habitat heterogeneity …

Large-scale, landscape-level restoration actions are widely implemented but receive little
attention from academic ecologists. We review the methods used to assess the role of these …

The tree‐species composition of forests can be an important component of habitat selection
by breeding birds. We examined tree‐species use by observing the foraging behavior of 13 …

Summary 1 Although genetic differentiation among plant populations is well known, its
relevance for preserving the integrity of native ecosystems has received little attention. In a …

Summary 1 Although outbreeding populations of many grassland plants exhibit substantial
genetic and phenotypic variation at fine spatial scales (< 100 m2), the implications of local …

This study examined the effects of infection with barley and cereal yellow dwarf viruses
(BYDVs) on wild grass species in California, a region in which native perennial …
