Pérez de Paz J, Caujapé-Castells J Annals of Botany 2013 (in press) • Background and Aims: We update the allozyme and reproductive datasets for the Canarian flora to (i) assess how the present levels and structuring of genetic variation have been influenced by the abiotic island traits and by phylogenetically determined biotic traits of the corresponding taxa; and (ii) suggest…

García-Verdugo C, Calleja JA, Vargas P, Silva L, Moreira O, Pulido F Molecular Ecology 2013 (in press, doi: 10.1111/mec.12194) Refugia are expected to preserve genetic variation of relict taxa, especially in polyploids, because high gene dosages could prevent genetic erosion in small isolated populations. However, other attributes linked to polyploidy, such as asexual reproduction, may strongly limit the levels of…

Project description ISLAND-BIODIV is a concerted, transnational and transregional collaboration to provide measures of biodiversity within island ecosystems and establish fast, efficient and long-term monitoring strategies for three inter-dependant functionally important groups: Flowering plants Macro-invertebrates living above ground Micro-invertebrates inhabiting soil systems. Involved in this project IPNA-CSIC, Universidad de La Laguna, Université de La Réunion, Université Paul Sabatier, Universidade dos…

Dan Crawford and Tod Stuessy began collaborating on the study of island evolution over 30 years ago. This long productive collaboration has provided important insights into insular diversification and their work has inspired and shaped subsequent generations of evolutionary biologists work in island systems. The importance of their research has been recognized widely and they both are former Asa Gray…

Bird pollination has evolved in four species of Macaronesian Lotus from a bee-pollinated ancestor. The transition is associated with the modification of several floral traits, including flower color and size, relative size and orientation of the petals, and nectar composition and quantity.…
