Genetic differentiation and admixture between sibling allopolyploids in the Dactylorhiza majalis complex
(Springer Nature, 2016)
Allopolyploidization often happens recurrently, but the evolutionary significance of its iterative nature is not yet fully understood. Of particular interest are the gene flow dynamics and the mechanisms that allow young ...

Bird-flower colour on islands supports the bee-avoidance hypothesis
(Wiley, 2023-12)
1. Many insular plant species inhabiting different archipelagos worldwide present typical ornithophilous floral traits (e.g. copious nectar, red-orange colours), but most of them are visited by insectivorous/granivorous ...

Development of microsatellite markers for sister species Linum suffruticosum and Linum tenuifolium in their overlapping ranges
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Background: Microsatellite markers were developed for distylous Linum suffruticosum and tested in the monomorphic sister species Linum tenuifolium. These species are perennial herbs endemic to the western and northwestern ...

A Comparative Analysis of Carbon Footprint in the Andalusian Autochthonous Dairy Goat Production Systems
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)
The small ruminant livestock sector faces the challenge of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Carbon footprint (CF) studies on dairy goats, the most widely used indicator to quantify the impact of livestock farming ...

Functional assembly of grassland plant species in native communities in Spain and recipient communities in California
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2023-01)
A major aim in invasion ecology is to understand the role of exotic species in plant communities. Whereas most studies have explored the traits of exotic species in the context of the introduced community, functional ...

Innovative In Situ and Ex Situ Conservation Strategies of the Madonie Fir Abies nebrodensis
(MDPI, 2022)
Abies nebrodensis (Lojac.) Mattei is an endemic species of the north-west of Sicily located in an 84 ha area in the Madonie Regional park. The current population is limited to 30 relic adult trees and a fluctuating number ...

Biodiversity and pollination benefits trade off against profit in an intensive farming system
(National Academy of Sciences, 2023)
Agricultural expansion and intensification have boosted global food production but have come at the cost of environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Biodiversity-friendly farming that boosts ecosystem services, ...

Influential factors and barriers change along the invasion continuum of an alien plant
(Springer Nature, 2023-06-12)
Upon arrival to a new area, alien species have to overcome a series of biotic and abiotic barriers to survive, reproduce, and spread and thus, succeed along the invasion continuum. Failing to understand the role of the ...

The effect of tree genetic diversity on insect herbivory varies with insect abundance
(Ecological Society of America, 2017)
Variance in edibility among plant genotypes is expected to be a key driver of plant genetic diversity (PGD) effects on abundance of insect herbivores and resulting herbivory. Yet, herbivore foraging behavior and leaf ...
