Genetic Diversity and Structure of <i>Physaria</i> on the Kaibab Plateau: Implications for Conservation Open
Assessing patterns of genetic diversity within and among closely related congeners is important for evaluating the conservation status of rare plant taxa. We used nuclear microsatellite genotyping to examine the genetic relatedness among t…

The Lonely Life of a Champion Tree, Aesculus glabra Open
Seedlings derived from two Ohio buckeyes (Aesculus glabra Willd.) trees, the National Champion growing in Illinois, USA, and the Ohio State Champion were sampled. The National Champion grows at the northern limits of the species’ native ra…

A comparison of genetic diversity and population structure of the endangered scaleshell mussel (Leptodea leptodon), the fragile papershell (Leptodea fragilis) and their host-fish the freshwater drum (Aplodinotus grunniens) Open
The larvae of freshwater mussels in the order Unionoida are obligate parasites on fishes. Because adult mussels are infaunal and largely sessile, it is generally assumed that the majority of gene flow among mussel populations relies on the…

Incongruence between mt<span>DNA</span> and nuclear data in the freshwater mussel genus <i><span>C</span>yprogenia</i> (<span>B</span>ivalvia: <span>U</span>nionidae) and its impact on species delineation Open
Accurately identifying species is a crucial step for developing conservation strategies for freshwater mussels, one of the most imperiled faunas in North America. This study uses genetic data to re‐examine species delineation in the genus …
