    Description / Table of Contents: Coastal Zones: Solutions for the 21st Century bridges the gap between national and international efforts and the local needs for actions in communities where coastal zone challenges are faced daily. The solution-oriented approach covers issues of coastal zone management as well as responses to natural disasters. This work provides ideas on how to face the challenges, develop solutions, and localize management of common-pool resources. Coastal Zones targets academic stakeholders and coastal stakeholders who have local knowledge and experience but need a theoretical framework and a greater range of skills to make use of this experience. Represents the collaborative work of more than 200 coastal zone researchers from all continents Provides a transdisciplinary approach that draws on stakeholder knowledge as well as diverse disciplines in the natural and social sciences Provides a basis for the co-development of an effective understanding of social-ecological systems in the coastal zone.

    Notes: Abstract Eight genotypes ofLemna minor, originating from four continents, were grown for 15 days in eight different environmental treatments. Fronds under each treatment were then transferred into each of the eight environmental conditions for 15 days. The rate of frond production (relative growth rate) and mean frond biomass were recorded for each pre- and post-transfer treatment and root length was measured for each pre-transfer treatment. For all the traits, the levels of response varied significantly between genotypes (G) and between environmental conditions (E). G × E interaction effect was significant for all traits under pre-transfer treatments and some post-transfer treatments. Both pattern and amount of plasticity were genotypically variable but the amount of variation depended on the trait. The trait representing the best estimate of fitness, growth rate, exhibited the least amount of plasticity and on average, showed the most conservative pattern of plasticity. In contrast, the trait least related to fitness, root length, was the most plastic and showed the most divergent pattern of plasticity. Under some post-transfer treatments, growth rate and mean frond biomass were affected by origin (initial treatment) effect. Pattern and amount of plasticity were also influenced by initial treatments. Since some genotypes may be more affected than others by environmental conditions, origin effect may accentuate G × E interaction and therefore, modify the pattern and amount of plasticity. Comparison between dendrograms based on genetic and phenotypic similarities suggested that there is no relationship between genetic and phenotypic divergence. This lack of relationship may be due to the fact that plasticity is not necessarily adaptive.

    Notes: Abstract Allozymic and morphometric variation was studied in 28 clones ofLemna minor. This variation was compared with the corresponding variation in four clones ofLemna gibba and four clones ofSpirodela polyrrhiza. A high level of allozymic variation was observed among the clones, despite having been grown under uniform laboratory conditions for several years and despite its quasi-exclusive clonal means of propagation. Based on degree of allozymic similarity,Spirodela polyrrhiza was distinguished from the twoLemna species but the latter species were genetically indistinguishable. Allozymic similarity among clones ofLemna minor was not related to morphometric similarity, nor was it related to the degree of geographic separation or climatic similarity of their sites of origin. The results suggest that allozymic variation among these clones ofLemna minor may be largely neutral and not a consequence of differential selection.
