Shrub Reestablishment in the Mountain Shrub Zone

Biotic Interactions Influencing Shrub Establishment

BIOTIC INTERACTIONS INFLUENCING SHRUB ESTABLISHMENT ON AN ATLANTIC COAST BARRIER ISLAND. Elucidating mechanisms influencing the establishment of woody species is essential for understanding community dynamics and successional processes on barrier islands. The relative intensity of facilitation and inhibition of grasses on seedling establishment of two woody species common to Atlantic Coast barr...

Gene Duplication, Population Genomics, and Species-Level Differentiation within a Tropical Mountain Shrub

Gene duplication leads to paralogy, which complicates the de novo assembly of genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) data. The issue of paralogous genes is exacerbated in plants, because they are particularly prone to gene duplication events. Paralogs are normally filtered from GBS data before undertaking population genomics or phylogenetic analyses. However, gene duplication plays an important role in...

The introduction of tree and shrub species in the central district of Zanjan county town

Floristic study is one of the most efficient methods of gaining knowledge about biological capacities, as well as management and conservation of plant genetic resources in ecological systems. Zanjan county town is located in a mountainous region with an area of 6763 km2 and the average altitude of 1663 m.a.s.l. Its favorable vegetation diversity is the result of suitable ecological conditions, ...

Coping with shrub secondary metabolites by ruminants

Rangelands throughout the world contain varying but often substantial proportions of shrubs. Shrubs are generally heavily chemically defended, and herbivores must either contend with their plant secondary metabolites (PSM) or avoid a significant component of the available forage. Browsing ruminants are exposed to thousands of chemicals in infinite combinations and concentrations that are consta...
