Hybridization plays a significant role in biological evolution. However, it is not clear whether ecological contingency differentially influences likelihood of hybridization, particularly at ecological margins where p...
Uso sustentable de hojas de boldo y pinones de araucaria 052-2010 del Fondo de Investigación del Bosque Nativo(Chile)
Background Araucaria araucana is a mast species that presents a high variability in annual cone production.Researchers have recorded synchronization events in cone production in different populations,which allows the ...
