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 …

Growing interest in metapopulation dynamics and dispersal at a landscape level is
promoting new approaches to the study of contemporary gene flow. These approaches have …

Many empirical studies have assessed fine‐scale spatial genetic structure (SGS), ie the
nonrandom spatial distribution of genotypes, within plant populations using genetic markers …

Population genetics has made great strides in applying statistical analysis and mathematical
modeling to understand how genes mutate and spread through populations over time. But …

Gene flow is a key factor in the spatial genetic structure in spatially distributed species.
Evolutionary biologists interested in microevolutionary processess and conservation …

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 …

We investigated the distribution of genetic variation within and between seven
subpopulations in a riparian population of Silene tatarica in northern Finland by using …

Summary 1 We used genetic markers to study gene flow of the riparian pioneer tree species
Populus nigra along the Drôme river (France). This dioecious species is supposed to have …

Abstract.—Explaining the extent, causes, and consequences of biotic distributions in space
is fundamental to our understanding of how species evolve and cope with particular …

Summary 1 The importance of dispersal for plant community structure is poorly understood.
Previous studies have hypothesized that patterns in the distribution and genetic structure of …
