MOLECULAR VARIATION AND PHYLOGEOGRAPHY OF THE MOSS CAMPION SILENE ACAULIS (L.) JACQ. (CARYOPHYLLACEAE) IN THE NORTH OF EUROPE AND THE SVALBARD ARCHIPELAGO
Molecular variation in 49 populations of Silene acaulis was studied using AFLP multilocus markers. Data obtained support postglacial colonization of the North the from southern European mountain refugia. Most of the northern European populations are characterized by lower genetic diversity and poor genetic structure, as compared to the southern mountain populations. High Arctic archipelago Shpitsbergen have been colonized by Silene acaulis from several sources, of which the most significant is eastern Greenland.
