Relationships between population density, fine-scale genetic structure, mating system and pollen dispersal in a timber tree from African rainforests.

Abstract excerpt

Owing to the reduction of population density and/or the environmental changes it induces, selective logging could affect the demography, reproductive biology and evolutionary potential of forest trees. This is particularly relevant in tropical forests where natural population densities can be low and isolated trees may be subject to outcross pollen limitation and/or produce low-quality selfed seeds that exhibit...
