Oecologia 162:371-81. 2010..In both experiments, the identity of genotypes was far more important than genetic diversity per se...

Department of Botany, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada V6T 1Z4
Proc Biol Sci 275:1857-64. 2008..In sharp contrast to previous models suggesting that sex or local interactions stabilize population dynamics, here sex and local interactions destabilize dynamics and increase extinction risk...- Conceptual synthesis in community ecologyMark Vellend

Departments of Botany and Zoology and Biodiversity Research Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Ecology 87:542-8. 2006..Thus, more than a century after forest fragmentation reached its current level an extinction debt persists for species with low rates of population turnover... - Disentangling the drivers of β diversity along latitudinal and elevational gradientsNathan J B Kraft
Biodiversity Research Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 1Z4, Canada
Science 333:1755-8. 2011..Therefore, there is no need to invoke differences in the mechanisms of community assembly in temperate versus tropical systems to explain these global-scale patterns of β diversity... - Defining historical baselines for conservation: ecological changes since European settlement on Vancouver Island, CanadaAnne D Bjorkman
Department of Botany, Biodiversity Research Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4, Canada
Conserv Biol 24:1559-68. 2010..Overall, our results indicate that the maintenance and restoration of open habitats will require active management and that historical records can provide critical guidance to such efforts... - Phylogeography of Camassia quamash in western North America: postglacial colonization and transport by indigenous peoplesHiroshi Tomimatsu
Departments of Botany and Zoology and Biodiversity Research Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Mol Ecol 18:3918-28. 2009..quamash does not show any detectable signatures of transport by indigenous peoples and is better understood as the result of natural dispersal processes... - Genotypic diversity effects on the performance of Taraxacum officinale populations increase with time and environmental favorabilityEmily B M Drummond
Department of Botany, Biodiversity Research Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
PLoS ONE 7:e30314. 2012..Our four-year field experiment plus seedling establishment trials indicate that genotypic diversity effects have far-reaching and context-dependent consequences across generations... - Seed dispersal by white-tailed deer: implications for long-distance dispersal, invasion, and migration of plants in eastern North AmericaJonathan A Myers

National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, USA
Trends Ecol Evol 23:311-7. 2008..We demonstrate that such an approach generates several novel outcomes and substantially enhances understanding of both ecological and evolutionary phenomena in three core research areas at the interface of ecology and evolution... - Island biogeography of genes and speciesMark Vellend
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA
Am Nat 162:358-65. 2003 - Ecological consequences of genetic diversityA Randall Hughes
Evolution and Ecology Bodega Marine Laboratory, University of California, Davis, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA 95616, USA
Ecol Lett 11:609-23. 2008..Future studies should focus not only on documenting the presence of genetic diversity effects but also on identifying underlying mechanisms and predicting when such effects are likely to occur in nature... - Antagonistic effects of seed dispersal and herbivory on plant migrationMark Vellend
Ecol Lett 9:319-26. 2006..However, relatively unfavourable conditions for population growth and increasingly intense herbivory by deer may compromise plant migration in the face of present and future climate change...
