Geochemical alkalinity and acidity as preferential site-specific for three lineages liverwort of Aneura pinguis cryptic species A
Abstract The study focused on the verification of the preferential site-specific concept hypothesizing, that mineral elements could be playing an initiating role in the biological speciation within Aneura pinguis cryptic species. A. pinguis species A and soil materials were collected from three ecol...
