Evolution in the Arctic:A phylogeographic analysis of the circumarctic plant, Saxifraga oppositifolia (Purple saxifrage)
A survey of chloroplast DNA variation in the circumarctic-alpine plant, Saxifraga oppositifolia, has resolved two highly divergent cpDNA lineages with geographically widespread and mainly allopatric distributions that are largely concordant with those of two subspecies, that is, subspp. oppositifoli...
