Landscape genetics of the self-compatible forest herb Geum urbanum: effects of habitat age, fragmentation and local environment.

Abstract excerpt

To investigate the role of habitat fragmentation, fragment age and local environment in shaping the genetics of plant populations, we examined the genetic structure of the self-compatible forest herb Geum urbanum using microsatellite markers. A historical land-use reconstruction assigned the studied populations to two age classes: populations in primary forest fragments, and populations in secondary fragments....
