High levels of genetic variability and inbreeding in two Neotropical dioecious palms with contrasting life histories
We characterized the population genetics of two Neotropical dioecious palm species of Chamaedorea with contrasting life strategies from the region that is both the northernmost extent and most species rich of the...

Amplified fragment length polymorphism as a tool for molecular characterization of almond germplasm: genetic diversity among cultivated genotypes and related wild species of almond, and its relationships with agronomic traits
Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis is a rapid and efficient method for producing DNA fingerprints and molecular characterization. Our objectives were to: estimate genetic similarities (GS),...

Spatial genetic structure of two sympatric neotropical palms with contrasting life histories
The spatial genetic structure within sympatric populations of two neotropical dioecious palm species with contrasting life histories was characterized to evaluate the influence of life history traits on the ex...

Estimating dispersal from short distance spatial autocorrelation
A series of theoretical studies has formed a strong connection between spatial statistics observed in populations and summary measures of the amount of dispersal. Synthesized, these developments allow dispersa...

Temporal aspects of the fine-scale genetic structure in a population of Cinnamomum insularimontanum (Lauraceae)
Cinnamomum insularimontanum Hayata (Lauraceae) is an insect-pollinated, broad-leaved evergreen tree with bird-dispersed seeds. We used allozyme loci, Wright's fixation index, spatial autocorrelation statistics (M...

Spatial genetic structure in a Neolitsea sericea population (Lauraceae)
Neolitsea sericea (Bl.) Koidz. (Lauraceae) is a dioecious, insect-pollinated, and broad-leaved evergreen tree with bird-dispersed seeds. We used allozyme loci, F-statistics, and spatial autocorrelation statistics...

Spatial distribution of allozyme polymorphisms following clonal and sexual reproduction in populations of Rhus javanica (Anacardiaceae)
Rhus javanica L. (Anacardiaceae), a dioecious tree with both sexual reproduction and clonal growth, is widely distributed in warm temperate, subtropical, and tropical regions in east Asia. We used allozyme loci a...

Clonal and spatial genetic structure in Eurya emarginata (Theaceae)
Eurya emarginata (Thunb.) Makino (Theaceae) is a dioecious, insect-pollinated tree, which combines sexual reproduction and clonal spread. It is narrowly distributed in coastal areas from southern China, along sou...

Spatial structure of genetic variation within populations of forest trees
The spatial pattern and structure of genetic variation are important aspects of the population genetics of forest stands. Combined with limits to seed and pollen dispersal, spatial structure affects the level ...

Genetic Diversity and Reproductive System
The reproductive system determines the way in which gametes are brought together to form new zygotes and thereby exerts the primary level of control on genotypic frequency distributions in populations. Those w...
