Polyploidy and environment in arctic Alaska
Johnson AW and Packer JG. 1965. Polyploidy and environment in arctic Alaska. Science. 148(3667):237-239
The frequency of polyploidy in the angiosperm flora of the Ogotorak Creek-Cape Thompson area of northwestern Alaska is correlated with edaphic environmental gradients in the area. These results, when placed in a historical and ecological context, help to clarify the problem of increasing frequency of polyploidy with latitude in the northern hemisphere.
