• Seagrass evolution, ecology and conservation: A genetic perspective (2007, background): “A transplant study on Posidonia oceanica has suggested, in fact, that transplants coming from genetically polymorphic populations have a greater probability of survival and perform better in common garden experiments ( Procaccini and Piazzi, 2001 ).”
• The Importance of Plant Provenance and Genotypic Diversity of Seed Material Used for Ecological Restoration (2008, background): “A ‘‘portfolio effect’’ (Tilman 1999) as a biological insurance has been proposed to explain the faster recovery of high-diversity stands of the sea grass Zostera marina after disturbance by herbivores (Hughes & Stachowicz 2004) and climatic extremes (Reusch et al. 2005).”
• A question of origin: Where and how to collect seed for ecological restoration (2010, background): “Procaccini and Piazzi (2001) found that degree of heterozygosity might be more important than plant provenance.”
• Vicariance patterns in the Mediterranean Sea: east–west cleavage and low dispersal in the endemic seagrass Posidonia oceanica (2007, background): “Local adaptation does not appear likely to limit the success of dispersal to a great extent since different transplantation experiments involving meadows separated by tens to several hundred kilometres (Balestri et al., 1998; Procaccini & Piazzi, 2001) revealed no varying selection on seed survival.”
• Contribution of genetics and genomics to seagrass biology and conservation (2007, background): “In P. oceanica, the genetic polymorphism of donor populations was positively correlated with survival rate, increase in rhizome length and ramification number of transplanted shoots (Procaccini and Piazzi, 2001).”
