genecologyn.

1923 G. Turesson in Hereditas 4 172 It seems appropriate for several reasons to denote this study of species-ecology by the term genecology..as distinct from the ecology of the individual organism, for which the old term autecology seems to be the adequate expression.

1947 R. F. Daubenmire Plants & Environment 373 A concrete example of the application of genecology to a group of plants is provided by studies of Phleum pratense and P. alpinum.

1963 P. H. Davis & V. H. Heywood Princ. Angiosperm Taxon. xii. 401 The basis of genecology..is the observation that this intra-specific variability can be demonstrated to be of genetic origin and is not randomly dispersed throughout the species range, but is distributed in such a way that neighbouring plants tend to resemble one another.

2001 Q. Rev. Biol. 76 435/1 In a review of genecology, Bennett..suggested that Turesson's work (1922 et seq.) pioneered a synthesis between genetics and evolution.

1947 R. F. Daubenmire Plants & Environment x. 366 (heading) The genecologic classification.

1969 Ecology 50 519/1 In an intensive genecologic study of Deschampsia caespitosa, Lawrence (1945) compared dried and living materials from Scandinavia and California.

1999 Ecol. Monogr. 69 376/1 Genecologic principles state that plant populations will express adaptations to the environments from which they originated, even when cultivated in common gardens.

1923 G. Turesson in Hereditas 4 173 Only as long as they are presented as constituent parts of the community of individuals which we have called an ecospecies, do they tell us anything of the morphology of that community from a genecological point of view.

1963 P. H. Davis & V. H. Heywood Princ. Angiosperm Taxon. xii. 398 Genecological differentiation has been found to be especially common in trees.

2001 Jrnl. Ecol. 89 126/1 Molinia caerulea is a very variable species owing to a combination of phenotypic plasticity and genecological variation.
