Success of coastal sage scrub restoration is influenced by local adaptations of shrub species
Abstract Premise Restoring plant communities is increasingly challenging with climate change. While practitioners have traditionally used local seed sources, many are recommending assisted migration, possibly from more extreme environments such as inland rather than coastal environments, for restoration.

Abstract Premise Given the threats of climate change, we investigated the impact of high temperatures separately and in combination with reduced soil water on leaf heat tolerance for five oaks (Fagaceae) with overlapping ranges in southern California, USA: Quercus agrifolia and Q. chrysolepis (evergreen species), Q. douglasii and Q.

How do Changes in Land Use Patterns Affect Species Diversity? an Approach for Optimizing Landscape Configuration [PDF]
Heterogeneity of agricultural landscapes is supposed to be of significant importance for species diversity in agroecosystems (Weibull et al. 2003). Thus it is necessary to account for structural aspects of landscapes in land management decision processes.

Abstract Premise Disentangling the ancestry of insular plant lineages is important for resolving their evolutionary histories but often complicated by polyploidy, an overrepresented condition in remote island floras. We used a phylogenomic approach to study the origin of subgenomes of the tetraploid Hawaiian silversword alliance and advance ...

Abstract Premise Recent advances in genomic technologies now enable the reconstruction of evolutionary histories at fine spatial scales, illuminating the complex dynamics that shape biodiversity patterns in naturally discontinuous, archipelago‐like ecosystems such as cloud forests.

Spatial organisation and feeding ecology of the American mink (Mustela vison) in a coastal habitat [PDF]
The American mink (Mustela vison Schreber) is the only introduced carnivore that has successfully colonised the British Isles. In the present study, the important problem of understanding which are the factors that limit or enhance their number has been ...
