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...

<h4>Background</h4>Many of the processes affecting genetic diversity act on local populations.

Arabidopsis lyrata, a self-incompatible, perennial species with a circumpolar distribution, is an excellent model system in which to study the roles of demographic history and local adaptation in patterning genetic variation.<h4>Principal findings</h4>We studied nucleotide diversity in six natural populations of Arabidopsis lyrata, using 77 loci sampled from 140 chromosomes.
