Recently, the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique has gained a lot of
popularity, and is now frequently applied to a wide variety of organisms. Technical …

For plant populations, gene movement through pollen and seed dispersal governs the size
of local genetic neighbourhoods and shapes the opportunities for natural selection and …

In natural plant populations, fine‐scale spatial genetic structure can result from limited gene
flow, selection pressures or historical events, but the role of each factor is in general hard to …

Plants are sessile organisms, often characterized by limited dispersal. Seeds and pollen are
the critical stages for gene flow. Here we investigate spatial genetic structure, gene dispersal …

Aim Understanding the spatial patterns of species distribution and predicting the occurrence
of high biological diversity and rare species are central themes in biogeography and …

Summary 1 In long‐lived, terrestrial orchids, strong aggregation of adults and recruits within
populations and pronounced spatial association between recruits and adults can be …

Knowledge of genetic structure at different scales is necessary for evaluating the importance
of interactions between the genome and environment and for inferring underlying processes …

• Premise of the study: Fine‐scale genetic structure (FSGS) in plants is influenced by
variation in spatial and temporal demographic processes. To determine how demographic …

Landscape features and life-history traits affect gene flow, migration and drift to impact on
spatial genetic structure of species. Understanding this is important for managing genetic …

Fine-scale genetic structure (FSGS) can vary among populations within species depending
on multiple demographic and environmental factors. Theoretical models predict that FSGS …
