Population genetic structure of Camellia nitidissima (Theaceae) and conservation implications

Camellia nitidissima Chi (Theaceae), with its golden-yellow flowers, is a famous ornamental species. Due to deforestation and collection of seedlings, its natural populations have receded greatly in recent decades. Genetic diversity and genetic differentiation of the twelve extant natural populations and one ex situ conserved population of C. nitidissima in China were analyzed using inter-simpl...

Cobitis ohridana and Barbatula zetensis in the River Moraca basin, Montenegro: distribution, habitat, population structure and conservation needs.

In this paper, we report on the distribution, habitat, population structure and conservation needs of Cobitis ohridana and Barbatula zetensis in the basin of the River Moraca in Montenegro. Our data show both species to be mainly distributed in the lower stretch of the main river and some tributaries in lowland habitats. Cobitis ohridana preferred more shallow water with a higher abundance of f...

Spatial distribution of absorbing centers of population with seismic structure in Kerman City

Iran is located in an area with high earthquake risk. There are over 20 active faults with length of 500 km and also densely populated parts of the country have been rendered vulnerable to strong earthquakes. However, existence of eight faults of the main faults of Iran along with at least 18 faults with length of more than 100 km in Kerman province have turned the place into one of the riskies...

Changes in Human Population Structure: Implications for Biodiversity Conservation

Human population size and growth have been recognized as important factors affecting biodiversity, but the impacts of population structural changes on biodiversity are not clear. In this paper, we made the first attempt to link human population structural changes with implications for biodiveristy, using Wolong Nature Reserve (southwestern China) for the endangered giant panda as a case study. ...
