Genetic Distinctiveness but Low Diversity Characterizes Rear-Edge <i>Thuja Standishii</i> (Gordon) Carr. (Cupressaceae) Populations in Southwest Japan

Rear-edge populations are of significant scientific interest because they can contain allelic variation not found in core-range populations. However, such populations can differ in their level of genetic diversity and divergence reflecting variation in life-history traits, demographic histories and...
