Genetic variation and reproductive success of road verge populations of the rare shrub Grevillea barklyana (Proteaceae)

Article Abstract:

Reproductive success and genetic variation of the rare Australian shrub Grevillea barklyana (Proteaceae) in road verge populations are discussed. A study found three road verge populations produced significantly more inflorescences and seed than three nearby nonverge populations and similar levels of genetic variability within and among road verge and nonverge populations were found using three RAPD primers.

Evidence for ancient genetic subdivision among recently fragmented populations of the endangered shrub Grevillea calyeyi (proteaceae)

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to determine genetic structure and distribution of genetic diversity among populations of an endangered Australian shrub Grevillea caleyi. The findings reveal a marked population genetic structure and a significant relationship between genetic and geographic distance.

Effects of seed bank disturbance on the fine-scale genetic structure of populations of the rare shrub Grevillea macleayana

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on Grevillea macleayana populations. The authors have identified the fine-scale genetic structure of these populations, and have tested the hypothesis that this structure could be mask by the seed bank disturbance.
