Calm after the storm? Similar patterns of genetic variation in a riverine foundation species before and after severe disturbance

Abstract In summer 2011, Tropical storms Lee and Irene caused an estimated 90% decline of the submersed aquatic plant Vallisneria americana Michx. (Hydrocharitaceae) in the Hudson River of New York (USA). To understand the genetic impact of such large‐scale demographic losses, we compared diversity...
