Genetic refugia, specialised pollination needs and pollinator shortages are challenges for the conservation of Aristotelia australasica (Elaeocarpaceae), a cool temperate rainforest shrub

Abstract

The data are reproductive biology and genetic results for a shrub found only in cool temperate rainforest. The data are about how it breeds and what pollinates the flowers and how seed set is limited by pollinators. The genetic data are ISSR markers and show that one of the populations is isolated. The data were collected in six populations on the northern tablelands. Population locations are provided in the data set and in the GEO co-ordinates below.
