Long-distance plant dispersal to North Atlantic islands: colonization routes and founder effect
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-15)
Long-distance dispersal (LDD) processes influence the founder effect on islands.We use genetic data for 25 Atlantic species and similarities among regional floras to analyse colonization, and test whether the genetic founder effect on five islands is associated with dispersal distance, island size and species traits. Most species colonized postglacially via multiple dispersal events from several ...
Vicariance, dispersal, and hybridization in a naturally fragmented system: the afro-alpine endemics Carex monostachya and C. runssoroensis (Cyperaceae)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-08)
The naturally fragmented habitat on the tallest African mountains provides a good model system to study vicariance, dispersal, and hybridization. Many mountains are separated by lowland that likely was unsuitable for high-alpine plants even during cold climatic periods. <br> We explore the relative importance of these processes using two endemic sister species: the widespread Ethiopian/eastern East ...
Genetic roadmap of the Arctic: plant dispersal highways, traffic barriers and capitals of diversity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-07-22)
<ul>
<p><li>We provide the first comparative multispecies analysis of spatial genetic structure and diversity in the circumpolar Arctic using a common strategy for sampling and genetic analyses. We aimed to identify and explain potential general patterns of genetic discontinuity/connectivity and diversity, and to compare our findings with previously published hypotheses.</li></p>

Good-bye to tropical alpine plant giants under warmer climates? Loss of range and genetic diversity in Lobelia rhynchopetalum
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-25)
The main aim of this paper is to address consequences of climate warming on loss of
habitat and genetic diversity in the enigmatic tropical alpine giant rosette plants using
the Ethiopian endemic Lobelia rhynchopetalum as a model. We modeled the habitat
suitability of L. rhynchopetalum and assessed how its range is affected under two climate
models and four emission scenarios. We used three ...
