This paper explores whether plant breeding system and pollination specialization influence the reproductive response of plants to habitat fragmentation. It is meaningful for conservation to predict a ...

In a fragmented, dry subtropical forest in northwestern Argentina, we compared pollination levels, fruit set, and seed set among small (<1 ha) forest fragments, large (>2 ha) fragments, and continuous ...

A team of scientists at the University of Seville has identified an essential process that protects DNA integrity in reproductive cells, providing new clues about how organisms avoid genetic defects ...

Habitat loss and fragmentation are considered the main drivers of biodiversity decline. Landscape experiments can offer unique insights into how fragmentation impacts biodiversity and ecological ...

The study highlights the importance of DNA repair systems in fertility and healthy development, and could pave the way for new research into reproductive disorders in humans ...

For decades, the biological clock was seen as a woman’s concern. Yet research now confirms that men, too, experience reproductive ageing. Sperm quality, hormone levels, and DNA stability all decline ...

Scientists have found that sperm from diabetic men have greater levels of DNA damage than sperm from men who do not have the disease. They warn that such DNA damage might affect a man's fertility.
