Highly Disturbed Populations of Seagrass Show Increased Resilience but Lower Genotypic Diversity

The response of seagrass systems to a severe disturbance provides an opportunity to quantify the degree of resilience in different meadows, and subsequently to test whether there is a genetic basis to resilience. We used existing data on levels of long-standing disturbance from poor water quality, a...
