Adding a third dimension to the edge of a species' range: altitude and genetic structuring in mountainous landscapes.

Abstract excerpt

In addition to the topographical and ecological barriers, other landscape features may also subtly influence the patterns of gene flow and spatial genetic structuring at species' borders. This paper focuses on the role played by altitudinal gradients that characterize mountainous landscapes. We formulate and test the hypothesis that when the distribution boundaries of plant species intersect mountainous...
