Patterns of polymorphism and demographic history in natural populations of Arabidopsis lyrata.

<h4>Background</h4>Many of the processes affecting genetic diversity act on local populations. However, studies of plant nucleotide diversity have largely ignored local sampling, making it difficult to infer the demographic history of populations and to assess the importance of local ada...
