TLDR
The high degree of population differentiation recorded here highlights the need for additional conservation measures for this species, both in terms of incorporating further populations into the protected areas, and the restoration of severely degraded populations, to ensure their continued viability.

Geographical genetics and the conservation of forest trees

TL;DR: This review focuses on recent investigations of the influence of human disturbances, comparative analyses of closely related and hybridizing species, reconstructions of refugia and of the spread of tree populations during the postglacial, and assessments of the role of tree genetic diversity in the face of future climate warming.

Postglacial formation and dynamics of North Patagonian Rainforest in the Chonos Archipelago, Southern Chile

TL;DR: Pollen analysis of continuous sediment cores from two lakes in the northern Chonos Archipelago (44°S) in southern Chile shows a complete postglacial record of vegetation change as mentioned in this paper.

Conservation of tree species through sustainable use: how can it be achieved in practice?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the reasons why the conservation-through-use approach is rarely successful in practice, and highlighted the importance of understanding the interactions between threats for conservation through use to be achieved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low RAPD variation and female-biased sex ratio indicate genetic drift in small populations of the dioecious conifer Taxus baccata in Switzerland

TL;DR: The findings support earlier assumptions that the Swiss occurrences of yew may be described as metapopulation dynamics, characterized by local colonization and extinction events leading to the observed genetic drift.

DNA polymorphisms amplified by arbitrary primers are useful as genetic markers

TL;DR: A new DNA polymorphism assay based on the amplification of random DNA segments with single primers of arbitrary nucleotide sequence is described, suggesting that these polymorphisms be called RAPD markers, after Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA.

Analysis of molecular variance inferred from metric distances among DNA haplotypes: application to human mitochondrial DNA restriction data.

TL;DR: In this article, a framework for the study of molecular variation within a single species is presented, where information on DNA haplotype divergence is incorporated into an analysis of variance format, derived from a matrix of squared-distances among all pairs of haplotypes.

Analysis of Gene Diversity in Subdivided Populations

TL;DR: A method is presented by which the gene diversity (heterozygosity) of a subdivided population can be analyzed into its components, i.e., the gene diversities within and between subpopulations.
