Development of twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci in polyploid endangered Omphalogramma vincaeflora Franch. (Primulaceae)
A total of twelve polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed from polyploid endangered species, Omphalogramma vincaeflora (Primulaceae). These loci were screened for variability among 45 individuals from thre...

Growth, biomass allocation, morphology, and photosynthesis of invasive Eupatorium adenophorum and its native congeners grown at four irradiances
Eupatorium adenophorum is one of the more noxious invasive plants worldwide. However, the mechanisms underlying its invasiveness are still not well elucidated. In this study, we compared the invader with its two ...

Multiple-scaled spatial genetic structures of Fraxinus mandshurica over a riparian–mountain landscape in Northeast China
Landscape genetics increasingly focuses on the way in which landscape features cause the fragmentation of lineages of terrestrial organisms. However, landscape features can also provide functional connectivity...

Eleven polymorphic microsatellite loci in Polygonatum filipes and cross-amplification in other congeneric species
Eleven polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from Polygonatum filipes, a plant endemic to China. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 3 to 7. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from ...

PCR primers for microsatellite loci in a Madagascan waterbird, the Sakalava Rail (Amaurornis olivieri)
We isolated 76 microsatellite loci from the Sakalava rail (Amaurornis olivieri) genome. These were tested in 30 individuals from six sites (in three regions) across the species’ range in Madagascar. Thirty-four o...

No evidence for evolutionarily decreased tolerance and increased fitness in invasive Chromolaena odorata: implications for invasiveness and biological control
Tolerance, the degree to which plant fitness is affected by herbivory, is associated with invasiveness and biological control of introduced plant species. It is important to know the evolutionary changes in to...
