Molecular markers provide evidence for a broad‐fronted recolonisation of the widespread calcareous grassland species Sanguisorba minor from southern and cryptic northern refugia

Abstract: Calcareous grasslands belong to the most species-rich and endangered habitats in Europe. However, little is known about the origin of the species typically occurring in these grasslands. In this study we analysed the glacial and post-glacial history of Sanguisorba minor, a typical plant species frequently occurring in calcareous grasslands. The study comprised 38 populations throughout the whole distribution range of the species across Europe. We used molecular markers (AFLP) and applied Bayesian cluster analy… Show more

“…Cryptic refugia have been shown for many plants surviving the ice ages in scattered areas with more suitable microclimate [5,6]. This was demonstrated in recent studies for several shrub and herb species in Central Europe [7,100,101]. The high amplitude of ecological niches that S .…”

“…We performed sPCA separately for each of the three Alnus taxa using the ADEGENET package in R (Jombart , Jombart et al , Jombart and Ahmed ). sPCA can detect spatial patterns not always associated with the principal components of genetic variation found in standard PCA (Szulkin et al ); hence this technique can be especially effective in uncovering cryptic refugia (Tausch et al ).…”

“…1 The species is widely distributed throughout Europe and is commonly found in dry and semi-dry grasslands of the Mediterranean basin. 2,3 S. minor and other species of this genus (e.g. S. officinalis) are commonly used as medicinal species, while they are also edible and their young shoots and leaves are usually used in mixed vegetable salads.…”
