Proceedings of the International Workshop on Red Coral Science , Management , and Trade : Lessons from the Mediterranean
In this study, data gathered from several fields are presented in order to give an historical and actual picture of the status of the red coral resource in Sardinian seas. A review of historical data is provided and the first picture of spatial distribution and genetic structure of red coral populations in deep waters of Sardinian seas (below 80 meters) are illustrated. The historical analysis ...
متن کاملRestricted gene flow in the Caribbean staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis: implications for the recovery of endangered reefs.
Coral reef conservation requires information about the distance over which healthy reefs can rescue damaged reefs through input of coral larvae. This information is desperately needed in the Caribbean where the 2 dominant shallow water corals Acropora cervicornis and Acropora palmata have suffered unprecedented declines. Here we compare the population genetic structure in the staghorn coral A. ...
متن کاملWeak genetic structure indicates strong dispersal limits: a tale of two coral reef fish.
The extent of dispersal by pelagic larvae in marine environments, including coral reefs, is central for understanding local population dynamics and designing sustainable marine reserves. We present here the first example of a clear stepping-stone genetic structure throughout the Caribbean basin for a common coral reef species, the French grunt (Haemulon flavolineatum). Analysis of microsatellit...
متن کاملPotential for adaptive evolution at species range margins: contrasting interactions between red coral populations and their environment in a changing ocean
Studying population-by-environment interactions (PEIs) at species range margins offers the opportunity to characterize the responses of populations facing an extreme regime of selection, as expected due to global change. Nevertheless, the importance of these marginal populations as putative reservoirs of adaptive genetic variation has scarcely been considered in conservation biology. This is pa...
متن کاملDifferences in Genetic Structure among Fagus orientalis Lipsky (Oriental Beech) Populations under Different Management Conditions: Implications for in situ Gene Conservation
Resource sustainability requires a thorough understanding of the influence of forest management programs on the conservation of genetic diversity in tree populations. To observe how differences in forest management affect the genetic structure of Fagus orientalis Lipsky (oriental beech), we evaluated thirteen beech sites across Hyrcanian forests, based on six microsatellite loci. Significant di...
