The genus Arenaria (Caryophyllaceae) comprises approximately 300 species worldwide; however, to date, just six of these taxa have been investigated in terms their genome size. main subject the present study is A. ciliata complex, with special focus on subsp. bernensis, an endemic plant occurring Swiss Northern Alps. Altogether, 16 populations and 77 individuals complex sampled sizes were estimated using flow cytometry, including s.str., multicaulis, gothica. bernensis shows highest 2c-value 6.91 pg DNA, while gothica showed 2c = 3.69 pg, s.str. 1.71 multicaulis 1.57 pg. These results confirm very high ploidy level (2n 20x 200) compared other as detected by our chromosome counting previously documented earlier work. size and, thus, also level, stable across whole distribution area this taxon. delivers additional support for taxonomic distinctiveness alpine which strongly aligns differences morphology, phylogeny, phenology, ecology, communities, described previously. In affirming differences, further now exists re-consider status Upgrading full rank would significantly improve conservation prospects taxon, as, because its precise ecological adaptation summit habitats, faces acute threats from accelerated climate warming.

Climate change has emerged as one of the major threats to biodiversity and Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) is facing challenges due a higher rate elevation dependent warming erratic rainfall. The rich bounty ecosystem services provided by this ‘water tower’ ‘Third Pole’ are under risk. Though there scattered sectoral knowledge available, comprehensive understanding on climate its impact lacking in HKH. To fill gap, systematic literature review using search, appraisal, synthesis, analysis (SALSA) was undertaken look at temporal spatial trends research focusing impacts services. increasing trend evolution from multidisciplinarity approach with focus suggested strong influence regional priority global discourse.

Summary Early studies of the textbook mixed‐ploidy system Biscutella laevigata highlighted diploids restricted to never‐glaciated lowlands and tetraploids at high elevations across European Alps, promoting hypothesis that whole‐genome duplication (WGD) is advantageous under environmental changes. Here we addressed long‐held hypotheses on role hybridisation origin tetraploids, their single vs multiple origins, whether a shift in climatic niche accompanied WGD. Climatic modelling together with spatial genetics coalescent based ddRAD‐seq genotyping 17 diploid 19 tetraploid populations was used revisit evolution this species complex space time. Diploids differentiated into four genetic lineages corresponding allopatric glacial refugia onset last ice age, whereas displaying tetrasomic inheritance formed uniform group originated from southern before maximum. Derived occurring elevation, autotetraploids likely inherited adaptation elevation rather than having evolved it through or after They further presented considerable postglacial expansion Alps underwent admixture diploids. Although underpinnings successful remain elusive, differentiation B. chiefly driven by history Alps.

Abstract A little more than 10% of the vascular plant flora native to European Alps is endemic this area. It has long been noticed that distribution endemics across very uneven. While most are found along southern edge Alps, with some also on its western, eastern, and northeastern edges, northern or less between Lake Geneva in west Traun east harbours almost no endemics.

Introduction In the European Alps, Pleistocene climate oscillations resulted in geographical range expansions and restrictions of species. Postglacial recolonizations often result secondary contact hybridization vicariant species, thereby creating hybrid zones with patterns introgression. Here, we compare genetic structure two between willow species pairs occurring Alpine System. Supplemented by morphological ecological data, try to understand factors shaping their influence on filling patterns. Methods RAD sequencing morphometric data were used characterize biogeographical history, diversity zone each pair. Vegetation relevés distribution models provided context support. Key results Results suggest that recolonization Alps happened from peripheral glacial refugia, resulting broad Eastern both pairs. Both show introgression, but differ symmetry intensity gene flow, type introgressed loci, range. Habitat preferences do not indicate barriers recolonization. Conclusions Hybrid only affect flow also appear impact

Abstract Background and Aims Historical changes in environmental conditions colonization–extinction dynamics have a direct impact on the genetic structure of plant populations. However, understanding how past influenced evolution species with high gene flow is challenging when signals for isolation adaptation are swamped by flow. We investigated spatial distribution widespread terrestrial orchid Epipactis helleborine to identify glacial refugia, characterize postglacial population assess its adaptive potential. Methods Ecological niche modelling was used locate possible refugia recolonization opportunities E. helleborine. A large single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) dataset obtained through genotyping sequencing define diversity sources Outlier analyses were elucidate local environment contributed divergence. Key Results The climatically suitable areas restricted during Last Glacial Maximum Mediterranean, south-western Europe small Alps Carpathians. Within-population (mean expected heterozygosity, 0.373 ± 0.006; observed 0.571 0.012; allelic richness, 1.387 0.007). Italy central likely acted as important recolonization. Adaptive SNPs associated temperature, elevation precipitation.
