Premise of the StudyCharacteristics of rare taxa include small population sizes and limited geographical ranges. The genetic consequences of rarity are poorly understood for most taxa. A small geographical range could result in reduced opportunity for isolation by distance or environment, thereby limiting genetic structure and variation, but few studies explore genetic structure at small spatial scales with sufficient resolution to test this hypothesis. Moreover, few comparative genetic studies exist among infrataxa differing in rarity. Here, we compare genetic variation among varieties ofAstragalus lentiginosusdiffering in range size. Additionally, we ask if genetic structure exists inA. lentiginosusvar.piscinensis, a rare taxon consisting of several thousand individuals that persist on ~8 km2of alkaline soil.MethodsWe compared genetic variation among 11 varieties ofA. lentiginosusdiffering in range size using a genotyping by sequencing (GBS) approach, which generated 11,475 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We characterized genetic structure among subpopulations ofA. lentiginosusvar.piscinensisusing a second GBS data set of 7274 SNPs and explored associations between genetic structure and environmental variation.Key ResultsWe found no association between genetic variation and range size among varieties ofA. lentiginosus. Additionally, despite the extremely small range ofA. lentiginosusvar.piscinensis, we report a well‐defined genetic structure among subpopulations associated with microhabitat variation in soil composition.ConclusionsOur results suggest that fine scale genetic structure may exist within other rareAstragalustaxa and that rarity does not preclude the maintenance of genetic diversity in this genus.
