PEA-Puccinellia in the European Arctic -Who is who, who is where, and why?

Arctic plants are rather recent (Late Tertiary-Pleistocene) immigrants or recently evolved. Two major processes in this evolution seem to have been hybridization and polyploidization, leading to complex relation patterns, and range of intermediate variant s between species. Thus, to untangle the ...
