Article Synopsis
- Dirca occidentalis, a rare shrub native to six counties near San Francisco, was studied using ISSR markers to explore genetic variation among its four isolated populations.
- Findings revealed that these populations have diverged over time, with East Bay being the earliest to diverge, influenced by the Bay Area's unique geological and climatic history.
- The study highlighted low genetic diversity, particularly in North Bay and Salmon Creek, suggesting ecological vulnerabilities due to factors like limited seed dispersal and genetic isolation.
