Abstract excerpt
Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) restriction site and isozyme data were combined to explore the spatial-temporal influence of the Messinian desiccation in the Mediterranean on the disjunct distribution of Androcymbium gramineum in Almería and Morocco (north and south of the straits of Gibraltar, respectively). Lack of evidence for different selective pressures, divergence time estimates based on the calibration of the...
