1. Summer drought stress is considered the primary constraint to plant performance in Mediterranean ecosystems. However, little is known about the implications of summer stress for plant reproduction under real field conditions and, particularly, for the regulatory mechanisms of maternal investment in reproduction. 2. The relationship between plant physiological status at different reproductive...

Abstract Natural selection is the major force driving adaptive evolution in natural populations, varying strength, direction, and form through space time, especially highly variable environments such as Mediterranean ecosystems. Although a conservative resource‐use strategy has been hypothesized to be taxa, patterns of at intraspecific level, that is, suite traits determining individual fitness...

Picoa species are hypogeous desert truffles, which can be found in semi-arid ranges of North Africa, West Asian, South of Europe and Middle East, including Iran (Moreno et al. 2000, Jamali & Banihashemi 2012, 2013). Picoa species form symbiosis mainly on roots of annual and perennial herbaceous plants of the Helianthemum, including H. ledifolium and H. salicifolium var. salicifolium (Jamali & B...

introduction climate change is one of the most important challenges in sustainable development, which has a negative impact on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. this will change rainfall patterns the power to increase hurricane and the risk of drought, flood and will strengthen pressure on water resources. researchers generally agree that the main cause of the increase in global temperature i...

Reduced complexity or reduced genomic representation library (RRL) approaches made the in-depth study of micro-evolutionary processes feasible giving rise to ecological population genomics (Luikart et al., 2019; Narum 2013). A growing number publications rely on cost-effective SNP discovery available through RRL (Leaché & Oaks, 2017). Arguably, most popular methods nowadays (Holliday 2019) are ...

Cytinus is a group of plants that grow within other plants: parasitic life cycle has evolved just four times in the plant kingdom. species are externally invisible for most their life, emerging from hosts only to flower and set seed. Owing this cryptic cycle, genus poorly understood likely include several hitherto undescribed species, particularly threatened forest habitat Madagascar. At time u...
