Living on the edge: conservation genetics of seven thermophilous plant species in a high Arctic archipelago
Small and peripheral populations often contain low levels of genetic variation. This may limit their ability to adapt to environmental change, including climate warming. In a recent study published in AoB PLANTS, Birkeland, Skjetne and colleagues show that many rare and threatened plant species in t...
