Genetic differentiation, local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in fragmented populations of a rare forest herb

Genetic differentiation, local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in fragmented populations of a rare forest herb

Background Due to habitat loss and fragmentation, numerous forest species are subject to severe population decline. Investigating variation in genetic diversity, phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation should be a prerequisite for implementing conservation actions. This study aimed to explore the...
