Plant populations growing along elevational gradients have been found to show inconsistent patterns in the distribution of genetic variation. Molecular markers used to study these patterns are usually targeting neutral processes, but may also be a...

Vegetation foraging ants feed to a considerable part on liquid plant exudates or on Hemipteran honeydew. Those liquids contain mainly sugars and amino acids (AA), which are attractive for the ants. We conducted a choice experiment using different ...

The study of spatial genetic structure (SGS) can provide an understanding of the key processes and factors involved in the maintenance of viable populations. Within plant populations SGS is mainly determined by the interplay between gene flow by s...

Exotic species are assumed to alter ecosystem functioning. However, little is known of the relationships within vertically structured plant communities such as forests, where tree saplings interact with herbaceous species, especially in the early ...
