Abstract Premise Strong elevational and latitudinal gradients allow the study of genetic differentiation in response to similar environmental changes. However, it is uncertain whether changes along two types result genetically based quantitative traits. Peripheral arctic alpine populations are thought have less evolutionary potential than more central do. Methods We studied traits widespread Anthyllis vulneraria a common garden. Plants originated from 20 2000‐m gradient lowlands limit...
We introduce the database of European vascular plant red lists, a compilation list categories designated to taxa during in-country conservation assessments. Version 1.0 is standalone static dataset with open access in an end-user friendly format. Its aim fulfil objectives Cooperation Science and Technology (COST) Action 18201, ConservePlants. The synthesizes data across 42 lists from 41 countries, participation 39 out total 44 countries two additional Mediterranean countries. contains 51,109...
Widespread plants may provide natural models for how population processes change with temperature and other environmental variables they respond to global change. Similar changes in can occur along altitudinal latitudinal gradients, but hardly any study has compared the effects of two types gradients. We studied populations Anthyllis vulneraria a gradient from Central Europe range limit North an Alps 500 m at 2500 m, both encompassing annual mean c. 11.5 °C. Plant size reproduction...
The abundant centre model (ACM) predicts that the suitability of environmental conditions for a species decreases from its distribution toward range periphery and, consequently, populations will become scarcer, smaller and more isolated, resulting in lower genetic diversity increased differentiation. However, little is known about whether shows similar patterns along elevational latitudinal gradients with changes important conditions. Using microsatellite markers, we studied structure 20 each
Many endangered plant species suffer from the effects of ongoing fragmentation their populations leading to a loss genetic diversity through drift. In addition, rare plants may also be affected by hybridization with other species. We studied population structure Gladiolus palustris in western limit its distribution area using AFLP markers. we clarified taxonomic status where closely related G. imbricatus was suspected based on morphology sequencing ITS region nuclear ribosomal DNA as well...
Even though plants represent an essential part of our lives offering exploitational, supporting and cultural services, we know very little about the biology rarest most threatened plant species, even less their conservation status. Rapid changes in environment climate, today more pronounced than ever, affect fitness distribution causing rapid species declines, sometimes before they had been discovered. Despite high goals set by conservationists to protect native from further degradation...
In Luxembourg, 34 % of native plants and archaeophytes are considered threatened or regionally extinct. Species translocations have been implemented in Luxembourg for more than 25 years as a conservation strategy to counteract biodiversity loss. this overview, we compiled data on actions between 1997 2023. The information collected includes the translocation locations, plant taxa targeted, methods used, monitoring conducted. For subset translocations, also included survival planted...
