Abstract excerpt
Population genetic diversity (PGD) underpins the adaptive capacity of species, shaping resilience to environmental change and long-term persistence. Yet the drivers of PGD variation are complex and difficult to disentangle because they act across multiple scales and reflect both ecological context and evolutionary history. Here, we investigate PGD in the Ehrharta setacea Clade (Poaceae), an ecologically and...
