Genetic variation and clonal diversity in four clonal sedges ( Carex) along the Arctic coast of Eurasia
Abstract We studied the structure of genetic variation (at both ramet‐ and genet‐level) and clonal diversity within and among populations in the four closely related arctic clonal sedges Carex bigelowii , C. ensifolia , C. lugens and C. stans by use of allozyme markers. Compared to other sedges and...
