Detecting dispersal of Nuphar lutea in river corridors using microsatellite markers

Abstract

1. River corridors are well-known for their role in plant dispersal.

The buoyancy of seeds, the possibility of dispersal by vegetative fragments, and the frequency and efficiency of dispersal among different river catchments determine linear distribution
