Climate change-driven northward expansion of the mediterranean orchid Ophrys apifera from genetic and ecological perspectives by Aleksandra M. Naczk, Marcin Wilhelm, Anna Jakubska-Busse, Anna Kalinka, Magdalena Achrem, Piotr Androsiuk, Marcin Górniak, Magdalena Zarzycka, Marta Kolanowska

“…Genetic analyses using nuclear microsatellite markers and plastid DNA revealed low overall population variability in Poland and neighbouring countries (the Czech Republic, Germany), probably caused by the founder effect and bottleneck, as well as the autogamous reproductive strategy of this species. STRUCTURE analysis identified three genetic clusters, with western populations forming a distinct, homogeneous cluster, while southern populations show a greater degree of genetic mixing. …”
