Abstract excerpt
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Plant populations that face new environments adapt and diverge simultaneously, and both processes leave footprints in their genetic diversity. Arabidopsis lyrata is an excellent species for studying these processes. Pairs of populations and subspecies of A. lyrata represent different stages of divergence. These populations are also known to be locally adapted and display various stages of...
