Salix herbacea, as other arctic-alpine species, likely found a refuge from the Ice Age in the Apennines. As the climate changed around them, the trees survived in a fragmenting population. This fragmentation has genetic...
Conservation of orchid species (Orchidaceae) can be challenging, particularly for a small Diuris group of four species from southeastern Australia. To determine best conservation practices for the four species, Ahrens...
The South American weed Mikania micrantha has spread rapidly across Southern China since its introduction to the Shenzhen region in 1984. Geng et al. used SSR markers to investigate and map genetic diversification of...
The pseudometallophyte Noccaea caerulescens is an excellent model to study adaptation to heterogeneous environments, as it grows both on normal and on heavy-metal-rich, toxic soils. Information on its mating system is...
Olive trees (Olea europaea) provide a good model to study the origin of cultivars due to their long lifespan.Β Diez et al.Β use SSR markers to evaluate genetic identity and diversity as well as phylogenetic relationships...
