TL;DR: The extent of the trait data compiled in TRY is evaluated and emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness are analyzed to conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements.

TL;DR: This paper presents a simple test based on a randomization procedure of allele sizes to determine whether stepwise-like mutations contributed to genetic differentiation, a nonsignificant test meaning that allele identity-based statistics perform better than allele size-based ones.

TL;DR: Comparison of variation patterns at both marker systems revealed that nuclear microsatellites identified complex differentiation patterns in south‐eastern Europe which remained undetected with chloroplast microSatellites, suggesting that data from different markers should be combined in order to capture the most important genetic patterns in a species.

TL;DR: DNA polymorphism at 22 loci was studied in an average of 47 Norway spruce haplotypes sampled in seven populations representative of the natural range, and data are compatible with a severe bottleneck occurring some hundreds of thousands of years ago.

TL;DR: The 196 parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) will soon agree to a post-2020 global framework for conserving the three elements of biodiversity (genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity) while ensuring sustainable development and benefit sharing.
