Abstract

Glacial relict populations are isolated remnants of arctic-alpine species resulting from shifts of the distribution range during glaciations. Recently, the conservation value of relict populations has been emphasized, since they are adapted to stressful ecological conditions, which may be important for future distribution range shifts due to climate change. However, glacial relict populations have strongly been affected by historical fragmentation processes. Limited genetic variation and reduced reproduction can, therefore, be postulated for glacial relict populations. In our study we tested these assumptions. We investigated central European populations of the typical rock plant Draba aizoides from the Alps (considered as a core distribution area) and from the Swabian Alb, the Southern and Northern Franconian Jura (where its populations are considered glacial relict populations). We analysed genetic variation using molecular markers AFLPs and studied the reproduction of the populations in germination experiments. Glacial relict populations were genetically less variable and strongly differentiated, but they exhibited higher germination than populations from the Alps. From our results it can be concluded that glacial relict populations may have limited genetic variation, but they do not necessarily exhibit a limited reproductive capacity. Glacial relict populations are, therefore, vital survivors of the Pleistocene, which deserve full conservation attention, especially against the background of future climate change.
