Glacial history affected phenotypic differentiation in the alpine plant, Campanula thyrsoides.
Numerous widespread Alpine plant species show molecular differentiation among populations from distinct regions. This has been explained as the result of genetic drift during glacial survival in isolated refugia along the border of the European Alps. Since genetic drift may affect molecular markers...
