Population genetic structure of a California endemic Branchiopod, Branchinecta sandiegonensis Population genetic structure of a California endemic Branchiopod, Branchinecta sandiegonensis
Branchinecta sandiegonensis (Crustacea: Anostraca) is a narrow range endemic fairy shrimp discontinuously distributed in ephemeral pools on coastal mesas in San Diego County, USA. Ten populations across the range of the species were subjected to allozyme analysis for eleven loci. The species exhibits low variability (P95 =9.1–45.5) and one third of the loci tested did not conform to...

The intermediate disturbance hypothesis does not explain fire and diversity pattern in fynbos The intermediate disturbance hypothesis does not explain fire and diversity pattern in fynbos
The intermediate disturbance hypothesis is a widely accepted generalization regarding patterns of species diversity, but may not hold true where fire is the disturbance. In the Mediterranean-climate shrublands of South Africa, called fynbos, fire is the most importance disturbance and a controlling factor in community dynamics. The intermediate disturbance hypothesis states that...
