of the species, . characters of ecology, reproductive biology, genetic diversity, population genetic structure, endangering mechanisms, and sampling strategy have been studied in view of conservation biology . the results may be summarized as follows : by field investigation, we found that the localities recorded for four specimens of d . versipellis and d . pleiantha had disappeared, and most of the present populations are located in protected subforests . the distributional range of d . versipellis has also been reduced greatly, evidently, the number of present populations has decreased, the resources are reduced sharply, and the species are clearly endangered 從保育生物學(xué)的角度,對八角蓮種群生態(tài)學(xué)和生物學(xué)特性、遺傳多樣性水平和遺傳結(jié)構(gòu)、瀕危機制及保育取樣策略進行了研究,結(jié)果如下:通過野外調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),原標(biāo)本記載的一些八角蓮和六角蓮種群已難以找到,該類群目前多分布于自然保護區(qū)外圍次生林地帶,分布范圍明顯縮小,現(xiàn)存群體的規(guī)模也明顯減少,資源量貧乏,物種處于瀕危狀況。
