The paradox of forest fragmentation genetics.

Conservation biology : the journal of the Society for Conservation Biology - 1 Aug 2008

Kramer Andrea T, Ison Jennifer L, Ashley Mary V, Howe Henry F

Abstract excerpt

Theory predicts widespread loss of genetic diversity from drift and inbreeding in trees subjected to habitat fragmentation, yet empirical support of this theory is scarce. We argue that population genetics theory may be misapplied in light of ecological realities that, when recognized, require scrutiny of underlying evolutionary assumptions. One ecological reality is that fragment boundaries often do not...
