• Recruitment failure in Florida Keys Acropora palmata, a threatened Caribbean coral (2008, background): “However, such a strategy can result in genotypically depauperate populations, which may compromise both population and ecosystem resilience in the face of continued or accelerating environmental challenges (Schmid 1994; Honnay and Bossuyt 2005; Reusch et al. 2005).”
• The relative importance of local, regional and historical factors determining the distribution of plants in fragmented riverine forests: an emergent group approach (2005, background): “They are able to survive many years under suboptimal ecological conditions because they exhibit very long generation times and prolonged clonal growth (Ehrlén & Lehtilä, 2002; Honnay & Bossuyt, 2005).”
• Traits related to species persistence and dispersal explain changes in plant communities subjected to habitat loss (2012, background): “Among herbaceous species, clonal growth is a complementary strategy to persist locally that may lead to extensive time delays in extinction (‘extinction debt’) (Eriksson, 1996; Honnay & Bossuyt, 2005; Helm et al., 2006; Lindborg, 2007; Kuussaari et al., 2009).”
• A meta-analysis of the relation between mating system, growth form and genotypic diversity in clonal plant species (2008, unknown): “…1985; Worthen and Styles 1988; Wilcock and Jennings 1999; Charpentier et al. 2000; Wolf et al. 2000; Honnay et al. 2006), a phenomenon associated with typically large clonal individuals and strengthened by low population genotypic diversities (Schaal and Leverich 1996; Honnay and Bossuyt 2005).”
• The Evolutionary Maintenance of Sexual Reproduction: Evidence from the Ecological Distribution of Asexual Reproduction in Clonal Plants (2008, background): “Others have questioned these conclusions on the grounds that the samples were subject to a variety of sources of bias (Eckert 2001; Honnay and Bossuyt 2005).”
• GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION IN CLONAL STRUCTURE IN A REEF- BUILDING CARIBBEAN CORAL, ACROPORA PALMATA (2006, background): “Thus, while monoclonal populations, such as some of the Florida A. palmata stands, enable the persistence of the species in a particular patch and thereby preserve some of the genetic diversity of the species, these populations exhibit an extinction debt (sensu Honnay and Bossuyt 2005).”
• Effect of habitat area and isolation on plant trait distribution in European forests and grasslands (2012, background): “Here we defi ne seed weight mainly as a dispersal/recruitment trait (Eriksson 1996, Ehrl é n and Eriksson 2000, Tremlova and M ü nzbergov á 2007) whereas clonality is most related to persistence (Honnay and Bossuyt 2005, Cody 2006).”
