Neutral and adaptive drivers of microgeographic genetic divergence within continuous populations: the case of the neotropical tree Eperua falcata (Aubl.).

PloS one - 1 Jan 2015

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In wild plant populations, genetic divergence within continuous stands is common, sometimes at very short geographical scales. While restrictions to gene flow combined with local inbreeding and genetic drift may cause neutral differentiation among subpopulations, microgeographical variations in environmental conditions can drive adaptive divergence through natural selection at some targeted loci. Such...
