Abstract
Genetic analysis of 16 populations of Scaevola plumieri in South Africa revealed genetic isolation of populations and low rates of clonal reproduction. The authors conclude that isolated dunes may reproduce clonally, but that gene transfer between dunes does occur. Establishment rates are inferred to be low though once established, individuals can become large.Suggested Citation
