The Genetic Consequences of disjunction in Campanula rotundifolia (Angiospermae: Campanulaceae)

Waller GK. 1993. The Genetic Consequences of disjunction in Campanula rotundifolia (Angiospermae: Campanulaceae). Southwest Missouri State University

It has been predicted that small, isolated populations will contain less genetic diversity and be genetically distinct from neighboring populations due to genetic drift. These predictions were tested for the flowering plant species Campanula rotundifolia by comparing three disjunct Missouri populations and eighteen non-disjunct, non-Missouri populations for patterns of isozyme variation in two enzyme systems. Leaf tissues were collected from many sites within the normal range of this plant including Isle Royale National Park.
