Species' ecological traits influence their spatial genetic patterns. Bedrock preference strongly shapes the phylogeography of alpine plants, but its interactions with other ecological traits have rarely been disentangled. Here, we explore whether dispersal ability and degree of habitat specialization account for divergent postglacial expansion patterns of high‐elevation plants in spite of similar bedrock preference.

Keywords: dispersal ability; habitat specialization; high elevation; elevation plants
