Conservation genetics of Stylophorum diphyllum (Papaveraceae): investigating the genetic diversity and differentiation of peripheral and core populations across the range

Many species-at-risk reach the edge of their range as disjunct and isolated populations. These peripheral populations may harbour unique genetic diversity crucial for future range shifts, or they may lack genetic diversity due to isolation or small population size. As such it is important to assess the genetic diversity and differentiation of these populations. We used 1,838 SNPs to evaluate the differentiation and genetic diversity in six …
