Abstract excerpt
Changes in genetic diversity and clonal structure were investigated along a spatiotemporal island chronosequence for the shrub Myrica cerifera. On our study site, Hog Island, Virginia, USA, island movement creates a sequence of dune ridges and intervening swales along an east-west axis of the island that produces an age-structured geomorphology. This substrate-mediated age structure, called the chronosequence,...
