Direct long‐distance dispersal best explains the bipolar distribution of Carex arctogena ( Carex sect. Capituligerae , Cyperaceae)
Abstract Aim The bipolar disjunction, a biogeographical pattern defined by taxa with a distribution at very high latitudes in both hemispheres (> 55° N; > 52° S), is only known to occur in about 30 vascular plant species. Our aim was to use the bipolar species Carex arctogena to test t...
