PREMISE OF THE STUDY: A period of allopatry is widely believed to be essential for the evolution of reproductive isolation. However, strict allopatry may be difficult to achieve in some cosmopolitan, spore-dispersed groups, like mosses. We examined the genetic and genome size diversity in Mediterranean populations of the moss Ceratodon purpureus s.l. to evaluate the role of allopatry and ploidy change in...
