Population genetic variation in the tree fern Alsophila spinulosa (Cyatheaceae): effects of reproductive strategy.
BACKGROUND: Essentially all ferns can perform both sexual and asexual reproduction. Their populations represent suitable study objects to test the population genetic effects of different reproductive systems. Using the diploid homosporous fern Alsophila spinulosa as an example species, the main purp...
