Disturbances as Hot Spots of Ecotypic Variation: A Case Study with Dryas octopetala

2014-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Ecotypic specialization among populations within plant species can result in adaptational lag when the climate changes directionally. However, disturbances, whether caused by direct effects of human activities or indirect effects such as climate change, may represent zones within which natural selection is relaxed. We compared the genetically based variation in leaf morphology in Dryas octopetala within three natu...
