Genetic rescue in an isolated metapopulation of a naturally fragmented plant species, Parnassia palustris.

Abstract excerpt

The loss of habitat of naturally fragmented species may result in isolated metapopulations: small groups of populations that are still connected by gene flow but have become isolated from other metapopulations. Genetic isolation may result in genetic differentiation between metapopulations and lowered genetic diversity within the metapopulation. Gene input from outside the metapopulation can hence be expected to...
