Genetic patterns of habitat fragmentation and past climate‐change effects in the Mediterranean high‐mountain plant Armeria caespitosa (Plumbaginaceae)

Mountain plants are among the species most vulnerable to global warming, because of their isolation, narrow geographic distribution, and limited geographic range shifts. Stochastic and selective processes can act on the genome, modulating genetic structure and diversity. Fragmentation and historical processes also have a great influence on current genetic patterns, but the spatial and temporal contexts of these processes are poorly known. We...
