Abstract excerpt
PREMISE: The distribution of genetic diversity on the landscape has critical ecological and evolutionary implications. This may be especially the case on a local scale for foundation plant species because they create and define ecological communities, contributing disproportionately to ecosystem function. METHODS: We examined the distribution of genetic diversity and clones, which we defined first as unique...
