Threatened species management on the rural-urban interface: Insight from a critically endangered shrub

Résumé fourni par la source

There is an abundance of discussion in the literature regarding sex ratios of plants and its ecological and evolutionary consequences.Thompson and Barrett (1981) claim that dioecy functions as a mechanism to reduce inbreeding.However, unisexual breeding systems can be Significantly and positively correlated with endangered species (Sjostrom and Gross 2006) and experience higher extinction rates and lower speciation rates compared with non-dioecious groups (Vamosi and Vamosi 2005).Ongoing study of Coastal Fontainea will seek to clarify sex ratios across the population of wild and translocated specimens including further investigation of temporal patterns of sex ratios and the consequences for the ongoing viability of the species.
