Abstract excerpt
Populations of arctic alpine plants likely disappeared and re-colonised several times at the southern edge of their distributions during glacial and interglacial cycles throughout the Quaternary. Range shift and population fragmentation after a glacial period would affect the genetic structure of such plants in southernmost populations. We aimed to elucidate how climatic oscillations influenced the population...
