Hunting and logging can alter ecological communities, but their long-term effects are seldom studied in Afrotropical forests. Tropical trees respond to environmental disturbance on timescales that usually surpass the...
Nitrogen deposition and fire regime suppression are key drivers of vegetation change in urbanising grasslands. In the natural grasslands that surround Melbourne, Australia, some native species have become rarer...
Humans have transformed landscapes, leaving remnant habitats embedded within a complex matrix. For many plants, the associated factors of decreased population size and increased land-use intensity surrounding them are...
Intensification of agriculture has led to a decline in pollinators. One reason is the loss of key species to support bees and flies, but how diverse a mix of plants to you need to support an ecosystem?
Genetic diversity was highest in above-ground populations, though below-ground populations contained 8 % of unique alleles that were absent above-ground.
In order to determine whether genetic architecture stems from pre-Pleistocene events or refugia, ChΓ‘vez-Pesqueira and NΓΊΓ±ez-FarfΓ‘n assess genetic diversity and population dynamics of 19 populations of wild papaya...
