Although clonal species are dominant in many habitats, from unicellular organisms to plants
and animals, ecological and particularly evolutionary studies on clonal species have been …

Terrestrial orchid life-cycles are complex and dependent on pollinators and mycorrhizal
associates. Worldwide, orchid populations are declining because of urbanization …

The red alga, Asparagopsis taxiformis, has recently expanded its distribution range into the
Western Mediterranean Sea, and populations have now even been found on the …

Reviews that summarize the genetic diversity of plant species in relation to their life history
and ecological traits show that forest trees have more genetic diversity at population and …

Little is known about levels and patterns of genetic diversity for the entire range of
endangered orchids native to China, Korea, and Japan. In this study, we focus on …

The split between conservation science and real‐world application is an ongoing issue
despite several calls for unification. Researchers are empowered to partially bridge the …

Orchid seeds are minute, dust-like, wind-borne and, thus, would seem to have the potential
for long-distance dispersal. Based on this perception, one may predict near-random spatial …

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 …

The occurrence of alternating phases of clonal and sexual reproduction may strongly impact
the interplay between neutral and selective genetic variation in populations. Using a …

During the last decades, most orchid species in much of Western Europe have suffered
significant declines and the long-term survival of the remaining populations remains to a …
