New publication from Schielzeth et al. in American Journal of Botany: Community genomics: a community-wide perspective on within-species genetic diversity
It is increasingly being recognized that diversity within species constitutes another important component of biodiversity with consequences for ecosystem functioning (Raffard et al., 2019; Stange et al., 2021). Intraspecific genetic variation provides…
