Effect of geographic isolation on genetic variation and population structure of Euphrasia nankotaizanensis, a threatened endemic alpine herb in Taiwan

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Euphrasia nankotaizanensis (Orobanchaceae) is a rare alpine herb that is endemic to Taiwan. Only four small populations remain in Xue, Nanhu, and Cilai Mountains of Taiwan.

New insights into polyploid evolution and dynamic nature of Ludwigia section Isnardia (Onagraceae)

open access: yesBotanical Studies, 2023
Background While polyploids are common in plants, the evolutionary history and natural dynamics of most polyploid groups are still unclear. Owing to plentiful earlier systematic studies, Ludwigia sect.

Investigation of floristic similarities between Taiwan and terrestrial ecoregions in Asia using GBIF data

open access: yesBotanical Studies, 2017
Background Floristic compositions of non-endemic plants of continental islands were related to the neighboring continents because non-endemic plant species had historically migrated to continental islands from source areas.

Prioritizing nationally endemic species for conservation

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, 2022
Abstract Over 90% of recent human‐caused extinctions are wild species known from only one nation. These nationally endemic species represent one of the greatest global conservation responsibilities for any country. To meet this responsibility, we must first identify nationally endemic species.

High unexpected genetic diversity of a narrow endemic terrestrial mollusc [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
The Iberian Peninsula has an extensive record of species displaying strong genetic structure as a result of their survival in isolated pockets throughout the Pleistocene ice ages. We used mitochondrial and nuclear sequence data to analyze phylogeographic

Endemic plant species are more palatable to introduced herbivores than non-endemics [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019
Islands harbour a spectacular diversity and unique species composition. This uniqueness is mainly a result of endemic species that have evolved in situ in the absence of mammal herbivores. However, island endemism is under severe threat by introduced herbivores.

Weak gene–gene interaction facilitates the evolution of gene expression plasticity

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2023
Background Individual organisms may exhibit phenotypic plasticity when they acclimate to different conditions. Such plastic responses may facilitate or constrain the adaptation of their descendant populations to new environments, complicating their ...
