Abstract
► Population genetic consequences of habitat fragmentation in a rare forest herb. ► Low genetic variation, strong population differentiation and restricted gene flow. ► Mainly early life-cycle stages were influenced by genetic variation. ► Purging of genetic load may buffer populations against negative genetic effects. ► Low genetic diversity implies low ability to respond to environmental change.
