Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Island-endemic plants with narrow geographic ranges are highly vulnerable to invasive herbivores and climate change, which can reduce reproductive success and shift their distributions. To understand how these pressures shape population connectivity, we studied two endemic violets (Viola cheiranthifolia and V. guaxarensis) from El Teide, Canary Islands. METHODS: We examined genetic diversity...
