Reduced seed dispersal potential in dandelions isolated within urban historical sites.

Abstract excerpt

Historical sites preserved within cities often serve as refuges for local biodiversity. However, these sites are surrounded by buildings and roads, creating sharp contrasts in habitat suitability between them and the surrounding urban matrix. Under such conditions, reduced dispersal potential may be favoured if remaining within the site enhances fitness. We tested this hypothesis in the self-incompatible...
