Forests occur as fragmented patches throughout Africa, however the basis for the disjunction of afromontane forests remains uncertain. The genetic structure of organisms should reflect their hi story, and in turn the history of their environment. Thus a phylogeographical study of forest-faithful mosses could provide insight into the fragmentation of forests. In this study, patterns of genetic variation in four forest-faithful mosses (Leptodon smithii, Pyrrhobryum spiniforme, Aerobryopsis capensis and Neckera valentiniana) were investigated. 2014-08-13T14:05:12Z 2014-08-13T14:05:12Z 2005 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6134 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
