Hydrochory, or the passive dispersal of organisms by water, is an important means of
propagule transport, especially for plants. During recent years, knowledge about hydrochory …

Macrophytes play important functional roles in river ecosystems, providing habitat and food,
as well as influencing flow, water chemistry, and sediment dynamics. They also represent an …

A fully updated guide to the increasingly prevalent use of molecular data in ecological
studies Molecular ecology is concerned with how molecular biology and population genetics …

There has been a recent trend in genetic studies of wild populations where researchers
have changed their sampling schemes from sampling pre-defined populations to sampling …

Describing, understanding and predicting the spatial distribution of genetic diversity is a
central issue in biological sciences. In river landscapes, it is generally predicted that neutral …

Restoration is normally conducted with the goal of creating plant populations that establish,
survive, successfully reproduce, contribute to ecosystem function and persist in the long …

Abstract The Geographic Mosaic Theory of Coevolution predicts that divergent
coevolutionary selection produces genetic differentiation across populations. The 29 studies …

A tool box of empirical and modeling methods, this book provides a foundation for designing
and conducting population-level ecological risk assessments consistent with North …

Genetic diversity, population structure and interrelationships were investigated in eight
populations of the common reed, Phragmites australis, in the Po Plain, Italy, by means of …

Seed dispersal is crucial to gene flow among plant populations. Although the effects of
geographic distance and barriers to gene flow are well studied in many systems, it is unclear …
