Erosion of plant genetic resources : causes and effects
  • Erosion of plant genetic resources : causes and effects
  • Replacement of a diversity of landraces with few unified modern varieties as part of a wider agricultural modernization is the main cause of genetic erosion. Genetic erosion has negative developmental effects when the modern varieties which replace
  • of erosion of crop genetic resources.
Genes and biogeographers incorporating a genetic perspective into biogeographical research
  • Genes and biogeographers incorporating a genetic perspective into biogeographical research
  • Genetic applications in biogeography
  • The A. provides an overview and assessment of how geographers could potentially incorporate a genetic perspective into biogeographical research focused on past, present, and likely future species distributions. This effort is especially timely
  • as the lat 2 decades have seen monumental advances in the knowledge of how organismal molecular biology functions to create the physiological and reproductive characteristics of species and their respective populations. In addition, these genetic studies also
Examples of the use of molecular markers in biogeographic research
  • Genetic applications in biogeography
  • After a brief overview of selected molecular markers, the AA. discuss lines of biogeographic inquiry involving genetic analyses where geographers can potentially make the greatest contribution. Examples from their own genetically-based biogeographic
  • research are provided. These include examination of spatial patterns of genetic variation, inferences about paleoenvironmental conditions, determination of evolutionary relationships, and analysis of genetic effects of human activity.
Genes are not information: rendering plant genetic resources untradeable through genetic restoration practices
  • Genes are not information: rendering plant genetic resources untradeable through genetic restoration practices
  • In this paper, the A. argues that a Midwestern plant conservation science institution (MPCSI) challenges genetic commodification through distinct knowledge-making and social practices. He analyzes the socionatural implications of this institution’s
  • use of genetic technology in native ecosystem restoration. He focuses on specific techniques used by the MPCSI’s scientists to view genes as embodied relational entities, rather than abstract information. He details the MPCSI’s emerging relationship
  • with commercial seed nurseries to illustrate how decommodification is integral to commodification. Finally, he argues that that although the MPCSI’s genetic restoration strategy necessitates limited market engagements, their scientific practices and institutional
The role of molecular genetics in sculpting the future of integrative biogeography
  • The role of molecular genetics in sculpting the future of integrative biogeography
  • The AA. review the expanding role of molecular genetics in the emergence of a vibrant and vital integrative biogeography. A proliferation of different approaches, sequences, and genomes have provided for the integration of a biogeography of the Late
  • Neogene with other Earth and biological sciences under the rubrics of phylogeography, landscape genetics, and phylochronology. The AA. illustrate how a molecular genetics framework has provided robust and novel reconstructions of historical biogeographical
  • pattern and process in 3 different systems, and finish with some thoughts on the role a molecular genetic-based biogeography will play in predicting alternative futures of biodiversity.
Conservation of food crop genetic resources in Latin America
  • Conservation of food crop genetic resources in Latin America
  • Plea for the preservation of tropical Latin American polyculture and for the interspecific genetic diversity still found there. Discussion of ex situ versus in situ conservation strategies.―(DWG)
Genetics and the environment: understanding geographical variations in the incidence of childhood diabetes
  • Genetics and the environment: understanding geographical variations in the incidence of childhood diabetes
  • Childhood diabetes is thought to result from exposure to environmental factors which trigger a pathogenic response in genetically susceptible children. Evidence of marked spatial and temporal variation in the incidence of childhood diabetes around

Regeneration dynamics and genetic variability of sugar maple (Acer saccharum (Marsh.)) seedlings at the species'northern growth limit, Lake Superior Provincial Park, Canada
  • Regeneration dynamics and genetic variability of sugar maple (Acer saccharum (Marsh.)) seedlings at the species'northern growth limit, Lake Superior Provincial Park, Canada
  • Genetic applications in biogeography
  • The AA. examine the demographics and genetic properties of Acer saccharum seedlings across the regional and local vegetation transition in Lake Superior Provincial Park, LSPP. Objectives are to determine if density age, size, growth and gene
  • frequencies varied across the regional and local transitions, and to examine the relationship between growth and regional temperature and precipitation. Genetic variability is great with no chort preference for topographic position detected.
Genetic variation and biogeographic history in the restricted Southwestern Australian shrub
  • Genetic variation and biogeographic history in the restricted Southwestern Australian shrub
  • Genetic applications in biogeography
  • This paper investigates within species patterns of genetic diversity and relatedness for Banksia hookeriana Meissn. (Proteaceae), a fire-killed shrub with a restricted geography range of only 80 x 30 km centered on the Eneabba Sandplain

Landslide hazard zoning using genetic programming
  • Landslide hazard zoning using genetic programming
  • Genetic programming (GP) is presented as a technique to induce models that can be used with GIS data to map landslides hazard zones. This study explores the use of GP to discover causative or associative factors most important to landslides
Genetic change after colonization
  • Genetic change after colonization
  • rapid turnover of their surfaces such that organisms surviving there must continually recolonize or become extinct. Such species, existing as metapopulations, should be prone to bottleneck effects that produce genetic shifts. Examples are given from
  • Drosophila silvestris on the island of Hawaii. The relevance of such genetic shifts to population structure and evolutionary change in populations is discussed, emphasizing the probable role of meta-population structure.
