The consequences of mating system and dispersal potential on the genetic structure of leaf-inhabiting bryophyte metapopulations in a fragmented Amazonian landscape
Abstract:Patch size and connectivity are the main predictors of population
demographic and genetic stability. Habitat fragmentation continues at
unprecedented rates justly affecting plant functional connectivity
worldwide. However, few terrestrial plant groups have sufficiently
foreshortened generation times in which to empirically disentangle the
demographic and genetic consequences of reduced patch size and
connectivity. Herein, we combine evidence from long-term (15 yr.)
population censuses of two epiphyllous bryoph… Show more
