Ecological adaptation shaped the genetic structure of homoploid ferns against strong dispersal capacity.

Abstract excerpt

The formation of spatial genetic structure with the presence of extensive gene flow, an evolutionary force which is generally expected to eliminate population-specific variation and maintain genetic homogeneity, remains poorly understood. Homosporous ferns, which spread by spores through wind and possess long distance dispersal capacity, provide an ideal system to investigate such a process. Here, using a...
