Reduced reproductive success and offspring survival in fragmented populations of the forest herb Phyteuma spicatum (2005, background): “Negative genetic effects of small population size on offspring performance have also been shown experimentally for Gentianella germanica (Fischer & Matthies 1998a), Primula veris (Kéry et al. 2000), Carex davalliana (Hooftman et al. 2003) and Succisa pratensis (Vergeer et al. 2003).”
Dispersal, demography and spatial population models for conservation and control management (2008, background): “17 pratensis detailed information is also available on multiple interactions between habitat 18 isolation, habitat quality, population size, inbreeding depression and gene flow through 19 seed dispersal (Soons and Heil, 2002; Vergeer et al., 2003; Jongejans et al., 2006; Mix et 20 al., 2006).”
Seed provenance matters — Effects on germination of four plant species used for ecological restoration (2006, background): “A negative relationship between population size and fitness-related traits, including germination was found in species restricted to such fragmented habitats (Luijten, Kéry, Oostermeijer, & den Nijs, 2002; Vergeer et al., 2003).”
Space versus time variation in the population dynamics of three co‐occurring perennial herbs (2005, background): “highest population growth rates, although it has declined as a result of habitat destruction and deterioration (Soons et al. 2003; Vergeer et al. 2003).”
Habitat fragmentation reduces grassland connectivity for both short‐distance and long‐distance wind‐dispersed forbs (2005, background): “…from application of our measure of connectivity match those from genetic analyses, which show that populations of S. pratensis in the AH area are almost completely isolated (Mix et al. unpublished data) and that the smaller populations have high inbreeding coefficients (Vergeer et al. 2003).”
The rough edges of the conservation genetics paradigm for plants (2006, background): “A similar result was obtained in a study on the effects of fragmentation on the common plant species Succisa pratensis (Vergeer et al. 2003).”
Effects of population size on genetic diversity and seed production in the rare Dictamnus albus(Rutaceae) in central Germany (2004, background): “Indeed, inbreeding depression – caused by higher expression of deleterious recessive allels due to increased homozygosity – has been documented in many species (Charlesworth and Charlesworth 1987; Vergeer et al. 2003), but cannot be assessed via the RAPD technique.”
Prospects for fen meadow restoration on severely degraded fens (2010, background): “, 2006), the ability to spread vegetatively (Tallowin and Smith, 2001) and the capability to reproduce (Vergeer et al., 2003; Hooftman et al., 2004).”
Reduced reproductive success in small populations of the self‐incompatible Primula vulgaris (2004, background): “The fact that small populations often grow under deteriorating site conditions (Jacquemyn et al. 2003) may also contribute ( Vergeer et al. 2003a, b).”
The Importance of Plant Provenance and Genotypic Diversity of Seed Material Used for Ecological Restoration (2008, background): “Inbreeding and genetic drift can reduce within-population genetic diversity (Procaccini & Piazzi 2001; Vergeer et al. 2003) and may result in small diversity differences among sets of high and low numbers of seed families.”
