Plant conservation in space, time and a changing world: forecasting the fate of Coffea arabica in Ethiopia.
We are facing an ever-increasing environmental crisis on our planet, with multiple threats from humankind. Industrialisation, deforestation, overpopulation and exploitation of our natural resources is driving species to extinction and changing the environment we live in. We need to plan for the future in order to adapt or mitigate these...Moat, Justin

Doctoral thesis
Molecular ecology and conservation of Mediterranean orchids and their mycorrhizal fungi.
The distribution and abundance of orchid mycorrhizal fungi (OMF) can influence the the establishment and resulting spatial pattern, as well as the population dynamics, of their host plants. Yet, our understanding of these mycorrhizal associations is currently limited by our restricted knowledge of the ecology and spatial distribution of OMF,...Calevo, Jacopo

Wild edible yams from Madagascar: New insights into nutritional composition support their use for food security and conservation.
Yams ( species) are an important food resource in Madagascar, where both cultivated winged yam ( ) and wild edible yams are consumed. However, there is limited knowledge on the nutrient composition of wild edible yams in Madagascar, and on how they compare with the cultivated winged yam. Therefore, in... -

The importance of conserving crop wild relatives in preparing agriculture for climate change.
Climate change is widely acknowledged to have severe implications for global food production and therefore food security. Utilising crop wild relatives (CWR) to help build resilience in domesticated crops is seen as part of the solution assuming that important genetic traits can be transferred to domesticated crops and that the... -

More on seed longevity phenotyping.
Understanding the relative longevity of different seed lots, perhaps of different species or genotypes, but also following production under different environments or using different cultivation methods, or following different post-harvest treatments, is relevant to anyone concerned with the retention of seed lot viability and vigour during storage. However, different scientists...Phenotypes, Orthodox seeds, Seed storage, Plant conservation, p50, Seed traits, and Comparative longevity protocol
