Genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation in plant populations: susceptible signals in plant traits and methodological approaches.

Abstract excerpt

Conservation of genetic diversity, one of the three main forms of biodiversity, is a fundamental concern in conservation biology as it provides the raw material for evolutionary change and thus the potential to adapt to changing environments. By means of meta-analyses, we tested the generality of the hypotheses that habitat fragmentation affects genetic diversity of plant populations and that certain life history...
