Long-distance dispersal during the middle–late Pleistocene explains the bipolar disjunction of Carex maritima (Cyperaceae)

We set out to explain the bipolar distribution of Carex maritima, clarifying the direction and timing of dispersal. We also tested mountain-hopping and direct long-distance dispersal hypotheses, as well as the relationship of C. maritima with biotic and abiotic factors that could explain the bipolar...
