Equilibrium and non-equilibrium concepts in forest genetic modelling: population- and individually-based approaches
The environment is changing and so are forests, in their functioning, in species composition, and in the species’ genetic composition. Many empirical and process-based models exist to support forest management. However, most of these models do not consider the impact of environmental changes and forest management on genetic diversity nor on the rate of adaptation of critical plant processes. Ho...
متن کاملInfluence of environmental heterogeneity on genetic diversity and structure in an endemic southern Californian oak.
Understanding how specific environmental factors shape gene flow while disentangling their importance relative to the effects of geographical isolation is a major question in evolutionary biology and a specific goal of landscape genetics. Here, we combine information from nuclear microsatellite markers and ecological niche modelling to study the association between climate and spatial genetic s...
متن کاملRole of Diversity Climate on Employee Satisfaction and Intent to Leave in Indian IT Personnel
Workforce diversity is one of the cornerstones of Indian Information Technology (IT) sector’s success as companies need to leverage the skills and talent of a diverse pool of employees. Diversity initiatives and programs in organizations are essentially implemented in order to improve the overall organizational diversity climate. Studies undertaken on diversity climate have revealed that a heal...
متن کاملScaling from traits to ecosystems: Developing a general Trait Driver Theory via integrating trait-based and metabolic scaling theories
Aim: More powerful tests of biodiversity theories need to move beyond species richness and explicitly focus on mechanisms generating diversity via trait composition and diversity. The rise of trait-based ecology has led to an increased focus on the distribution and dynamics of traits in communities. However, a general theory of trait-based ecology, that can apply across different scales (e.g., ...
متن کاملPredicting the genetic consequences of future climate change: The power of coupling spatial demography, the coalescent, and historical landscape changes.
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Climate change is a widely accepted threat to biodiversity. Species distribution models (SDMs) are used to forecast whether and how species distributions may track these changes. Yet, SDMs generally fail to account for genetic and demographic processes, limiting population-level inferences. We still do not understand how predicted environmental shifts will impact the spatia...
