Effect of Phylogenetic and Functional Diversity on Invasion Resistance in Restored Tallgrass Prairies

Description:

The question of how native species diversity affects a community’s ability to resist invasive species has inspired decades of research. One of the oldest invasion biology hypotheses is that more species rich ecosystems are less invaded. While there has been strong support for this hypothesis, there is also strong evidence...

Plant Traits as Predictors of Population Differentiation and Climate Sensitivity: Investigating Gene Flow and Regeneration Niche of Asclepias in the Midwest U.S.

Description:

Plant life history traits influence the extent and degree of gene flow across a species range. The resulting genetic neighborhood size can influence population differentiation and the scale of local adaptation, with implications for species response to environmental change and sourcing of plant materials for ecological restoration. To assess the...
