Abstract excerpt
The reproductive biology of a plant species is important in the response of populations to habitat fragmentation, especially if plant-pollinator interactions are disrupted. The genetic effects of forest fragmentation were examined in the common understorey herb Viola pubescens, a species that produces self-pollinated cleistogamous (CL) flowers and potentially outcrossing chasmogamous (CH) flowers. Using...
