Molecular diversity and derivations of populations of Silene acaulis and Saxifraga oppositifolia from the high Arctic and more southerly latitudes
Abstract A survey of allozyme diversity within and between populations of Silene acaulis from Spitsbergen, Norway, Iceland and Scotland, showed that populations from the high Arctic (Spitsbergen, > 76°N) contained high levels of diversity and were genetically similar to populations from more sout...
