ABSTRACT Species with extremely small population sizes are critically endangered because of reduced genetic diversity, increased inbreeding and hybridisation threats. Genomic tools significantly advance conservation by revealing genetic insights into endangered species, notably in monitoring frameworks.

Establishing Research and Management Priorities for Monoecious Hydrilla [PDF]
Abstract : a) A synthesis of key points from presentations and discussions following a September 2012 Symposium on the Biology and Management of Monoecious Hydrilla, b) Background information on monoecious hydrilla and a description of why the spread of this biotype into the northern tier states should concern policymakers and resource managers, and c)

Genome Architecture and Speciation in Plants and Animals
ABSTRACT There have been numerous treatments of specific topics in speciation, but surprisingly few papers have compared patterns and processes of speciation across different organismal groups. In this review, we partially address this gap by asking how variation in genome architecture impacts speciation across the plant and animal kingdoms.

Summary The evolution of dioecy from hermaphroditism is widely thought to be a response to disruptive selection favoring males and females, driven by advantages of inbreeding avoidance, sexual specialization, or both. It has hitherto been difficult to uncouple the importance of these two hypotheses.

Abstract Temperate seaweed forests are among the most productive and widespread habitats in coastal waters. However, they are under threat from climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. To effectively conserve and manage these ecosystems under these rising pressures, an understanding of the genetic diversity and structure of habitat‐forming ...

Population Genetics Meets Ecology: A Guide to Individual‐Based Simulations in Continuous Landscapes
This paper aims to be a practical guide to spatial simulation, helping researchers to implement realistic and efficient spatial, individual‐based simulations and avoid common pitfalls. We explore how mating, reproduction, density‐dependent feedback, dispersal, spatial and temporal heterogeneity, and natural selection affect population dynamics and ...

ABSTRACT Actions for ecological restoration under the Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative in the northern Sahel have been plant focused, paying scant attention to plant–animal interactions that are essential to ecosystem functioning. Calls to accelerate implementation of the GGW make it timely to develop a more solid conceptual foundation for restoration

A review of sexual strategies in Cannabis sativa L. under genomic and environmental controls
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. (marijuana, hemp) is one of the few dioecious angiosperm species with sex chromosomes. Along with other closely related genera from the family Cannabaceae, C. sativa exhibits monoecious (unisexual flowers at different locations within the individual) and dioecious (two sexes in separate individuals) populations.
