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 …

Oceanic islands are storehouses for unique creatures. Zoologists have long been fascinated
by island animals because they break all the rules. Speedy, nervous, little birds repeatedly …

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 …

Aquatic angiosperms have evolved from a diverse assemblage of terrestrial lineages and
exhibit broad variation in morphology, life history, and reproductive systems. This variation …

Broad‐scale studies of genetic structure and diversity are indicative of the recent
evolutionary history of a species and are relevant to conservation efforts. We have estimated …

Invasive plant species have adversely affected rangelands throughout the world and
continue to invade previously uninfested lands at an alarming rate. Previous efforts have …

Aquatic Dicotyledons of North America: Ecology, Life History, and Systematics brings
together a wealth of information on the natural history, ecology, and systematics of North …

Pollen flow, seed dispersal and individual reproductive success can be simultaneously
estimated from the genotypes of adults and offspring using stochastic models. Using four …

The expansion of many wetland species is a function of both clonal propagation and sexual
reproduction. The production of ramets through clonal propagation enables plants to move …

River systems offer special environments for the dispersal of aquatic plants because of the
unidirectional (downstream) flow and linear arrangement of suitable habitats. 2. To examine …
