Abstract excerpt
This study explores the patterns of dispersal and mating of the anther smut Microbotryum violaceum, a model species in genetics and evolutionary biology. A French metapopulation of the fungus collected from its caryophyllaceous host Silene latifolia was analysed using microsatellites. The genetic diversity was low, populations were strongly differentiated, and there was no pattern of isolation by distance among...
