excelsa is significantly differentiated among the diploid taxa analysed here. Geographically structured distribution of alleles and their frequencies in C. bavarica populations could not be explained with the distribution of these alleles in C. pyrenaica . The presented findings favour disruption of a ...
excelsa in East Austrian high alpine regions did. Another species considered in this study, the Romanian C. borzaeana is more closely related to C. tatrae from the High Tatra mountains than to C. pyrenaica from Slovakia or Austria and the AFLP results suggest a single origin of alpine 2n ...
