Funded Activity Summary
Managing the evolutionary potential of fragmented native plant populations. Many previously widespread plant species now exist in small fragmented populations threatened with extinction due to genetic decline. We will apply a novel and powerful new genetic approach for the assessment of the evolutionary potential of these populations. Through the most detailed characterisation of realized mating yet possible, we will determine if recently fragmented populations are in genetic decline, and how anciently fragmented species avoid extinction. Our aim is to generate general principles for the early measurement and/or prediction of genetic decline in species most at risk, that will enable us to determine how and when remediation measures are required.Funded Activity Details
