Standardizing methods to address clonality in population studies (2007, methodology): “To attenuate this flaw for the extreme cases of monoclonal or low richness stands with small sample size, a slight modification has been proposed by Dorken & Eckert (2001) as R (Box 2, equation 16).”
Is asexual reproduction more important at geographical limits? A genetic study of the seagrass Zostera marina in the Ria Formosa, Portugal (2003, background): “For example, populations of Decodon verticillatus (an aquatic plant) in the central portion of its range exhibited prodigious seed production, whilst those at the northern geo- graphical limit showed severely reduced seed production (Eckert & Barrett 1995, Dorken & Eckert 2001).”
Is There a Latitudinal Gradient in the Importance of Biotic Interactions (2009, background): “Dorken & Eckert (2001) found a significant negative correlation between latitude and most measures of sexual reproduction for the aquatic plant Decodon verticillatus.”
The loss of sex in clonal plants (2001, background): “…the sexual fertility of [287] northern vs. southern population of D. verticillatus in the greenhouse with their fertility in natural populations, Dorken and Eckert (2001) showed that, although plants in northern populations are genetically infertile, ecological factors also reduce seed…”
Genetic variation across species’ geographical ranges: the central–marginal hypothesis and beyond (2008, background): “Decodon verticillatus Eckert & Barrett 1993; Dorken & Eckert 2001; Pinus contorta ssp.”
PLANT PERFORMANCE ACROSS LATITUDE: THE ROLE OF PLASTICITY AND LOCAL ADAPTATION IN AN AQUATIC PLANT (2003, background): “…to genetic processes, such as genetic drift, inbreeding, and low ge- notypic diversity associated with small population size and reduced sexual reproduction (Lesica and Allendorf 1995, Jonas and Geber 1999, Kark 1999, Garcı́a et al. 2000, Dorken and Eckert 2001; but see Sagarin and Gaines 2002).”
A meta-analysis of the relation between mating system, growth form and genotypic diversity in clonal plant species (2008, positive): “…studies dealing with apomictic species, studies explicitly testing treatment effects (e.g. mowing) on genotypic diversity, and studies or populations which were clearly not representative for a species, e.g. the extremely northern populations of Decodon verticillatus in Dorken and Eckert (2001).”
GENCLONE : a computer program to analyse genotypic data, test for clonality and describe spatial clonal organization (2006, background): “These are: G = the number of distinct MLGs; R = the modified index of genotypic richness, as proposed by Dorken and Eckert (Dorken & Eckert 2001).”
GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION IN CLONAL STRUCTURE IN A REEF- BUILDING CARIBBEAN CORAL, ACROPORA PALMATA (2006, background): “Studies of flowering plants have likewise found reliance on asexual reproduction at the geographic periphery of species’ ranges (see Dorken and Eckert 2001).”
