Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Alpine plants exhibit diverse postglacial recolonization patterns following the last glacial periods. Polyploidization may have impacted these dynamics by introducing ecological and physiological novelties that facilitate adaptation to changing environments. However, consistent trends in the recolonization, niche optima and dynamics of polyploids and their related diploids remain elusive. In...
