Do island plant populations really have lower genetic variation than mainland populations? Effects of selection and distribution range on genetic diversity estimates.

Molecular ecology - 1 Feb 2015

García-Verdugo C, Sajeva M, La Mantia T, Harrouni C, Msanda F, Caujapé-Castells J

Abstract excerpt

Ecological and evolutionary studies largely assume that island populations display low levels of neutral genetic variation. However, this notion has only been formally tested in a few cases involving plant taxa, and the confounding effect of selection on genetic diversity (GD) estimates based on...
