Abstract excerpt
Autopolyploid taxa present numerous challenges for population genetic analyses due to difficulties determining allele dosage. Dosage ambiguity hinders accurate assessment of allele frequencies, multilocus genotypes (MLGTs), as well as levels and patterns of clonality. The pervasiveness of polyploidy in the evolutionary history of plant taxa makes this a recurring problem. Whereas diploidization of loci may occur...
