Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat Fragmentation Differentially Affects Genetic Variation, Phenotypic Plasticity and Survival in Populations of a Gypsum Endemic.
TL;DR: The results indicate that, although the species consists of genetically variable populations able to express functional plasticity, such aspects of adaptive potential may not always reflect populations’ survival, and calls for caution on the use of genetic variation and plasticity to forecast population performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does higher connectivity lead to higher genetic diversity? Effects of habitat fragmentation on genetic variation and population structure in a gypsophile
TL;DR: The results highlight that fragmentation can have important effects on intra-population genetic processes even for locally abundant, dominant species, and the importance of including habitat connectivity in management and conservation strategies of this type of semiarid systems.

Areas of endemism as a conservation criterion for Iberian gypsophilous flora: a multi-scale test using the NDM/VNDM program
Fabián Martínez-Hernández,Antonio J. Mendoza-Fernández,Francisco J. Pérez-García,María Isabel Martínez-Nieto,Juan Antonio Garrido-Becerra,Esteban Salmerón-Sánchez,M. E. Merlo,Consolación Gil,Juan F. Mota +8 more
TL;DR: A large number of areas of endemicity were identified and represented on a map according to their program selection frequency, and the South East of the Iberian Peninsula was the only area selected in all the tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic and morphologic diversity of European fan palm (Chamaerops humilis L.) populations from different environments from Sicily
TL;DR: The correlations between climatic variables and morphological traits suggest that the morphological adaptation to arid environments depends more on summer temperatures than on evapotranspiration or rainfall and that autumn and winter temperatures are determinants of the species establishment at new sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability, genetic structure and phylogeography of the dolomitophilous species Convolvulus boissieri (Convolvulaceae) in the Baetic ranges, inferred from AFLPs, plastid DNA and ITS sequences

TL;DR: Sequence analysis and estimation of divergence times indicated that divergence took place during the Pleistocene glaciations, and clear-cut differentiation caused by the existence of two large population groups separated by the Guadiana Menor river basin was found.

The neighbor-joining method: a new method for reconstructing phylogenetic trees.
Naruya Saitou,Masatoshi Nei +1 more
TL;DR: The neighbor-joining method and Sattath and Tversky's method are shown to be generally better than the other methods for reconstructing phylogenetic trees from evolutionary distance data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confidence limits on phylogenies: an approach using the bootstrap.
TL;DR: The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.

MEGA5: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis using Maximum Likelihood, Evolutionary Distance, and Maximum Parsimony Methods
Koichiro Tamura,Daniel S. Peterson,Nicholas Peterson,Glen Stecher,Masatoshi Nei,Sudhir Kumar +5 more
TL;DR: The newest addition in MEGA5 is a collection of maximum likelihood (ML) analyses for inferring evolutionary trees, selecting best-fit substitution models, inferring ancestral states and sequences, and estimating evolutionary rates site-by-site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inference of population structure using multilocus genotype data
TL;DR: Pritch et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a model-based clustering method for using multilocus genotype data to infer population structure and assign individuals to populations, which can be applied to most of the commonly used genetic markers, provided that they are not closely linked.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detecting the number of clusters of individuals using the software STRUCTURE: a simulation study.
TL;DR: It is found that in most cases the estimated ‘log probability of data’ does not provide a correct estimation of the number of clusters, K, and using an ad hoc statistic ΔK based on the rate of change in the log probability between successive K values, structure accurately detects the uppermost hierarchical level of structure for the scenarios the authors tested.
