Population differentiation in a Mediterranean relict shrub: the potential role of local adaptation for coping with climate change.

Abstract excerpt

Relict plant species of limited distribution can be especially vulnerable as they are usually composed of small and isolated populations, which may reduce their ability to cope with rapidly changing environmental conditions.
