The Survival Strategy of the Alpine Endemic Primula glaucescens Is Fundamentally Unchanged throughout Its Climate Envelope despite Superficial Phenotypic Variability

The survival of alpine species in changing climates depends on dispersal or adaptation. However, it is unclear whether trait variability along elevation/climatic gradients is adaptive or represents stress towards lower/warmer elevations, particularly for the endangered endemics for which protected s...
