      Herfindal, Ivar; Lee, Aline Magdalena; Marquez, Jonatan; Le Moullec, Mathilde; Peeters, Bart; Hansen, Brage Bremset; Henden, John-André; Sæther, Bernt-Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-13)
      Environmental variation in time and space generates complex patterns in the spatial structure of temporally covarying populations. Accounting for spatial population structure is important for sustainable management and harvest, but there is a need for a better understanding of the many mechanisms affecting the spatial structure of populations. In the large-scale research project SUSTAIN, detailed ...
    • Tetraploids do not form cushions: association of ploidy level, growth form and ecology in the High Arctic Saxifraga oppositifolia L. s. lat. (Saxifragaceae) in Svalbard 

      Eidesen, Pernille Bronken; Müller, Eike; Lettner, Christian; Alsos, Inger Greve; Bender, Morgan; Kristiansen, Martin; Peeters, Bart; Postma, Froukje; Verweij, Koen Frans (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Saxifraga oppositifolia L. is a common circumpolar plant species that displays considerable morphological and genetic variation throughout its range. It is mainly diploid, but tetraploids are reported from several regions. The growth form varies from prostate to cushion-shaped, and the plant thrives in wet snow beds as well as on dry ridges. This variation has triggered the curiosity of ...
