Abstract excerpt
Understanding the driving mechanisms of local genetic diversity is a fundamental challenge under the global environmental changes. Rivers provide an excellent study system to demonstrate the effects of hydrochory dispersal and habitat selection on genetic diversity of riparian flora. In this study, we focused on the genetic variation of common reed (Phragmites australis) in the Yellow River Delta, China. Firstly,...
