Contrasting patterns of clonality and fine-scale genetic structure in two rare sedges with differing geographic distributions.

Abstract excerpt

For plants with mixed reproductive capabilities, asexual reproduction is more frequent in rare species and is considered a strategy for persistence when sexual recruitment is limited. We investigate whether asexual reproduction contributes to the persistence of two co-occurring, rare sedges that both experience irregular seed set and if their differing geographic distributions have a role in the relative...
