Living in isolation – population structure, reproduction, and genetic variation of the endangered plant species Dianthus gratianopolitanus (Cheddar pink)

The endangered plant species Dianthus gratianopolitanus exhibits a highly fragmented distribution range comprising many isolated populations. Based upon this pattern of distribution, we selected a study region in Switzerland with a lower magnitude of isolation (Swiss Jura) and another study region in Germany with a higher degree of isolation (Franconian Jura). In each region, we chose ten popul...

Since then numerous descriptions have appeared, including that of Feer, a German paediatrician. Several names are still current, e.g., erythrcedema, acrodynia, dermato-polyneuritis, while in ...

It was thought to be a nutritional disorder due to lack of vitamin B, a variation of this being that it was due to lack of absorption of vitamin B. Later it was thought to be due to a virus and to have a sli...
