• Importance of genetic diversity in eelgrass Zostera marina for its resilience to global warming (2008, background): “This applies particularly to beds that are being restored by habitat mitigation (Williams 2001).”
• Marine biodiversity and ecosystem function relationships: The potential for practical monitoring applications (2015, unknown): “With regard to BEF relationships within the context of provision of physical habitat, Williams (2001) found a positive association between intra-speci fi c genetic diversity within Zostera marina and leaf shoot density.”
• Understanding the Effects of Marine Biodiversity on Communities and Ecosystems (2007, background): “Two other eelgrass experiments (Reusch et al. 2005, Williams 2001) provide evidence consistent with an effect of intraspecific diversity on processes associated with recovery after disturbance or transplantation.”
• Biodiversity and the functioning of seagrass ecosystems (2006, background): “In a separate mesocosm experiment measuring eelgrass growth responses to temperature stress, heterozygous genotypes also showed lower variability among treatments than did homozygotes (Williams 2001).”
• The Importance of Plant Provenance and Genotypic Diversity of Seed Material Used for Ecological Restoration (2008, background): “Recent studies have shown that the approach has potential risks that may counteract the desired effects if nonlocal provenances are used and genotypic diversity of the source populations is too low (Keller et al. 2000; Williams 2001; McKay et al. 2005).”
• The emerging role of genetic diversity for ecosystem functioning: Estuarine macrophytes as models (2006, background): “Seagrass beds are threatened by a number of anthropogenic perturbations (Short and WyllieEscheverria 1996), and research has demonstrated that restoration efforts of seagrasses may lead to beds with reduced genetic diversity compared to natural sites (Williams 2001).”
• A question of origin: Where and how to collect seed for ecological restoration (2010, background): “Population fitness is usually correlated with the degree of heterozygosity which is low in inbred ht tp :// do c. re ro .c h populations (Oostermeijer, van Fijek, & den Nijs 1994; Williams 2001; Vergeer, Rengelink, Copal, & Ouborg 2003).”
• Contribution of genetics and genomics to seagrass biology and conservation (2007, background): “On the dark side, however, introduction of genotypes that are distinct from native populations may lead to higher mortality (Williams, 2001) if not locally adapted; or the introduced genotypes may mate with local genotypes producing offspring that are less fit, a phenomenon called outbreeding…”
• Seagrass evolution, ecology and conservation: A genetic perspective (2007, background): “In addition, understanding the genetic consequences of transplantation may allow us to better infer the ability of those beds to survive in longer time frames (e.g. see Williams, 2001 ).”
