Population dynamics of diploid and hexaploid Populations of a perennial herb Population dynamics of diploid and hexaploid populations of a perennial herb

Abstract

Background and Aims Despite the recent enormous increase in the number of studies on polyploid species, no studies to date have explored the population dynamics of these taxa. It is thus not known whether the commonly reported differences in single life-
