Genetic effects of chronic habitat fragmentation revisited: Strong genetic structure in a temperate tree, Taxus baccata (Taxaceae), with great dispersal capability

Abstract: Tree species are thought to be relatively resistant to habitat fragmentation because of their longevity and their aptitude for extensive gene flow, although recent empirical studies have reported negative genetic consequences, in particular after long-term habitat fragmentation in European temperate regions. Yet the response of each species to habitat loss may differ greatly depending on their biological attributes, in particular seed dispersal ability. In this study, we used demographic and molecular data to … Show more

“…Possible factors contributing to this variation may include establishment history (number of colonizing individuals), size, density and the isolation level of a population. Recently, Dubreuil et al (2010) studied the genetic structure of English yew populations in Spain using SSR markers. They noted significant deficiency of heterozygotes, which could not be attributed solely to inbreeding, as the SSRs used in that study were strongly affected by null alleles (Dubreuil et al, 2008).…”
