Naturally fragmented and isolated distribution in subtropical grassland patches affects genetic diversity and structure at different spatial scales: The case of Tibouchina hatschbachii, an endemic shrub from Brazil.

Abstract excerpt

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The genetic structure of organisms results from the interactions between life history traits and the ecological and demographic characteristics of the landscape that shape the intra- and interpopulation genetic variation in space and time. In this study, we used a species restricted to islands of grassland vegetation in southern Brazil to investigate the effects of its naturally fragmented...
