Abstract excerpt
The genetic structure of three snowbed-herb species (Peucedanum multivittatum, Veronica stelleri, and Gentiana nipponica) was analyzed using allozymes across nine populations arranged as a matrix of three snowmelt gradients x three geographic locations within 3 km in the Taisetsu Mountains, northern Japan. Phenologically asynchronous populations are packed within a local area in alpine snowbeds, because flowering...
