Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: A previous study detected no allozyme diversity in Iberian populations of the buckler-fern Dryopteris aemula. The use of a more sensitive marker, such as microsatellites, was thus needed to reveal the genetic diversity, breeding system and spatial genetic structure of this species in natural populations. METHODS: Eight microsatellite loci for D. aemula were developed and their...
