The movement of organisms or genes among resource patches is fundamental to the persistence of natural populations over time. Species occurring in rock outcrops may have difficulty maintaining genetic connectivity due to the natural disjunct distribution of these formations, which may lead to genetic differentiation. In this study, we tested the hy...
Genetic diversity and population structure in plants are directly associated with the reproductive system and gene flow by pollen and seeds. We examined the reproductive system, pollination biology, genetic diversity and structure, and gene flow in Bromelia hieronymi, an endemic species of the humid Brazilian chaco. We characterized the reproductiv...
Premise of the Study
Microsatellite markers were developed in Deuterocohnia longipetala (Bromeliaceae) to investigate species and subspecies boundaries within the genus and the genetic diversity of natural populations.
Methods and Results
We used 454 pyrosequencing to isolate 835 microsatellite loci in D. longipetala. Of 64 loci selected for prime...
The influence of plant structural traits on microhabitat selection has been demonstrated for spiders around the world. The spiders preferences for particular microha-bitats result in variation of spider diversity related to both, the structure of vegetative parts (Souza 2005) and the presence of reproductive structures (Souza & Mar-tins 2004). Flor...
