Spatially biased collections and the failure to cover all wild genetic clusters in plant populations under ex situ conservation [PDF]

Plant Diversity
Successful ex situ conservation of plant populations requires a high degree of genetic representativeness. However, spatially biased sampling in ex situ conservation efforts may fail to capture all wild genetic clusters for species with range-wide ...
