Abstract excerpt
Arabidopsis lyrata is mostly outcrossing due to a sporophytic self-incompatibility (SI) system but around the Great Lakes of North America some populations have experienced a loss of SI. We researched the loss of SI in a phylogeographic context. We used cpDNA and microsatellite markers to test if populations of North-American A. lyrata around the Great Lakes have experienced different (recent) histories, and...
