Clonal Reproduction and Low Genetic Diversity in Northern Australian <i>Santalum lanceolatum</i> (Santalaceae) Populations Highlights the Need for Genetic Rescue of This Commercially Significant Species

Genetic diversity and the extent of clonality in a plant species can significantly influence its reproductive success. Whilst clonality can be an effective life-history strategy, in harsh environments it can lead to low levels of diversity and sexual reproductive failure. <i>Santalum lanceolat...
