Genetic diversity of structuring species in the sea : influence on the demographic response to anthropic disturbances
The influence of genetic diversity on the demographic stability of populations constitutes a paradigm in evolutionary ecology. The complexity of this relationship within natural populations is enhanced by the reciprocal effect of stability on diversity, and the degree of interconnection among popula...

The influence of genetic diversity on the demographic stability of populations constitutes a paradigm in evolutionary ecology. The complexity of this relationship within natural populations is enhanced by the reciprocal effect of stability on diversity, and the degree of interconnection among populations. This interaction was explored within the seagrass Zostera marina and the cold-water corals Lophelia pertusa and Madrepora oculata, three partially clonal species. This life history trait, deeply influencing the population dynamics and evolutionary trajectory of species, constituted the underlying theme of this work.The sampling in space (regional scale) and time (a three-years step) of eelgrass meadows allowed us to better understand the clonal dynamics of these plants. The clonal architecture and diversity may result from the equilibrium between dispersal/recruitment of collectively dispersed clouds of seeds, and the competition for space among clones.
