Reduced fine-scale spatial genetic structure in grazed populations of Dianthus carthusianorum.
Heredity - 1 Nov 2016
Rico Y, Wagner H H
Abstract excerpt
Strong spatial genetic structure in plant populations can increase homozygosity, reducing genetic diversity and adaptive potential. The strength of spatial genetic structure largely depends on rates of seed dispersal and pollen flow. Seeds without dispersal adaptations are likely to be dispersed over short distances within the vicinity of the mother plant, resulting in spatial clustering of related genotypes...
