“…), natural communities can be more difficult to recreate (Mossman, Davy & Grant ). Artificial planting of rare species accelerates vegetation development, and may be particularly beneficial if the plant species host rare invertebrates (Woodell & Dale ). Plant colonization may be constrained by poorly drained and oxygenated sediments (Mossman, Davy & Grant ), which may be improved by the establishment of effective creek networks (Crooks et al .…”

Summary Successful conservation will increasingly depend on our ability to help species cope with climate change. While there has been much attention on accommodating or assisting range shifts, less has been given to the alternative strategy of helping species survive climate change through in situ management.Here we provide a synthesis of published evidence examining whether habitat management can be used to offset the adverse impacts on biodiversity of changes in temperature, water availability and sea‐level rise. Our focus is on practical methods whereby the local environmental conditions experienced by organisms can be made more suitable.Many studies suggest that manipulating vegetation structure can alter the temperature and moisture conditions experienced by organisms, and several demonstrate that these altered conditions benefit species as regional climatic conditions become unsuitable. The effects of topography on local climatic conditions are even better understood, but the alteration of topography as a climate adaptation tool is not ingrained in conservation practice. Trials of topographic alteration in the field should therefore be a priority for future research.Coastal systems have the natural capacity to keep pace with climate change, but require sufficient sediment supplies and space for landward migration to do so. There is an extensive literature on managed realignment. While the underlying rationale is simple, successful implementation requires careful consideration of elevation and past land use. Even with careful management, restored habitats may not attain the physical and biological attributes of natural habitats. Synthesis and applications. The recent literature provides a compelling case that some of the adverse effects of climate change can be offset by appropriate management. However, much of the evidence for this is indirect and too few studies provide empirical tests of the long‐term effectiveness of these management interventions. It is clear from the existing evidence that some techniques have a higher risk of failure or unexpected outcomes than others and managers will need to make careful choices about which to implement. We have assessed the strength of evidence of these approaches in order to demonstrate to conservation professionals the risks involved.

“…If the evolution of the populations was observed to be inappropriate, taking into account the observed lack of genetic structure, a reinforcement of populations could be designed to reduce the danger of outbreeding depression. Germination rates of seeds are usually high in Armeria (Woodell and Dale 1993), and are maximized when seeds follow a cold treatment (personal observation).…”

The genetic diversity and possible geographic structure of the Madeiran endemic Armeria maderensis have been assessed with AFLP. Its scarce distribution (less than 3 km between the two most distant localities) and restricted habitat (vertical pastures on the highest elevations of Madeira), at least in part due to grazing by goats, suggest an assessment of its conservation status. Diversity estimates obtained for A. maderensis were evaluated through comparison with reference values of AFLP diversity for outcrossing plants and, in order to correct for phylogenetic constraints, with a widespread congener analyzed with the same AFLP markers. Our results reveal that low levels of genetic diversity and a weak intraspecific genetic structure underlie the restricted distribution of A. maderensis.

“…alfacarensis in Alfacar. Taking into account the unspecific pollinators (Woodell & Dale, 1993) and the low reproductive barriers in Armeria (Nieto Feliner & al., 1996) the possibility of recent or contemporary gene flow is high. RAPD data, specifically the minimum spanning tree, supports the suggestion that gene flow suffered by A. filicaulis subsp.…”

A new subspecies of the Betic-Riffean species Armeria filicaulis is formally described -subsp. alfacarensis-from crystalline dolomitic sands NE of Granada (SE Spain). Its representatives exhibit a consistent morphological combination of characters on the inflorescence and flowers that support its taxonomic recognition. This is shown by means of a multivariate morphometric analysis. In one of the sites of the new taxon, where it is sympatric with A. villosa subsp. bernisii, nuclear ribosomal ITS sequences reveal gene flow between the two species, which is congruent with RAPD data and chloroplast trnL-F haplotypes. It is discussed that gene flow detected is not responsible for the origin of the new subspecies but a recent event. According to this, a differentiated biological entity related to other forms of A. filicaulis inhabiting dolomitic sands in eastern Andalusia, existed previously to gene flow events. The patterns detected (and inferred events) in A. filicaulis throughout its area suggest that the compilospecies model fits the evolution of this species as does that in A. villosa (as reported elsewhere) although not as closely.Key words: Armeria, compilospecies, ITS, morphometrics, Plumbaginaceae, RAPDs, taxonomy, trnL-F. ResumenSe describe una nueva subespecie de la bético-rifeña Armeria filicaulis, que habita en arenas dolomíticas cristalinas del nordeste de Granada (sudeste de España): subsp. alfacarensis. Su reconocimiento taxonómico se apoya en una combinación constante de caracteres relativos a la inflorescencia y flores, como se comprueba en el análisis morfométrico multivariante que presentamos. En una de las localidades donde vive la nueva subespecie de forma simpátrica con A. villosa subsp. bernisii, las secuencias de ITS del ADN ribosómico nuclear revelan flujo génico entre ambos táxones, lo cual es congruente con los resultados que se presentan de RAPDs y con los haplotipos detectados de secuencias cloroplásticas (trnL-F). Se argumenta que el flujo génico detectado no es responsable del origen de la nueva subespecie sino consecuencia de un suceso más reciente. De acuerdo con esta interpretación, con anterioridad al flujo génico aludido, existiría una entidad biológica diferenciada en la zona, afín a otras formas de A. filicaulis que habitan en arenas dolomíticas del este de Andalucía. Los patrones detectados en A. filicaulis a lo largo de su área de distribución, así como los procesos inferidos, sugieren que el modelo de evolución de esta especie se ajusta al de compiloespecie, tal como propusimos para A. villosa en otro trabajo, aunque no de forma tan patente.
