Rafting of marine and terrestrial organisms has important ecological, biogeographical and
evolutionary implications. Herein the general principles of rafting are described and how …

Plant species usually have either annual or perennial life cycles, but facultative annual
species have annual or perennial populations depending on their environment. In terrestrial …

Genetic diversity is one of three forms of biodiversity recognized by the IUCN as deserving
conservation along with species and ecosystems. Seagrasses provide all three levels in …

Physical disturbance has often been invoked to control genotypic diversity in sessile clonal
organisms, yet experimental evidence is lacking. I studied the effects of physical disturbance …

As climatic variation re‐shapes global biodiversity, understanding eco‐evolutionary
feedbacks during species range shifts is of increasing importance. Theory on range …

Abstract Information on genetic diversity and differentiation of seagrass populations is
essential for the conservation of coastal ecosystems. However, little is known about the …

The seagrass, Zostera capensis, occurs across a broad stretch of coastline and wide
environmental gradients in estuaries and sheltered bays in southern and eastern Africa …

Comparisons across multiple taxa can often clarify the histories of biogeographic regions. In
particular, historic barriers to movement should have affected multiple species and, thus …
