But also in this case, it is reasonable to assume that selection to the special spring habitat plays an important role for the distinct characteristics of the plants growing there.
Compared to the exposed beaches and the often inundated estuary habitat, where an annual or biennial life history is most optimal, the spring habitat is much more sheltered and supportive of perenniality as usually found in the spring ecotype16.
In spring, habitat variables (i.e. percentage of dry crops and pasturelands and altitude) ruled species' distribution; while, winter pattern was driven by mixed criteria, based on both habitat and climate (i.e. percentage of dry crops and wastelands and winter rainfall).
Spring habitat was a better predictor of little bustard's wintering range than vice versa, which has clear management implications (preserving breeding sites closer to wintering areas ensures the conservation of a larger proportion of the total distribution range).
In fact, a species of springsnail in Mexico was recently discovered to be a new species, but it was described from museum specimens after its only known spring habitat had dried up (www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2011/f/zt03001p032.pdf).
To our surprise, we found introns in two of the LSU genes, from Synechococcus lividus strain C1 and Synechococcus sp. C9, both originally isolated from a hot spring habitat in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA [[ 26]; see also Table 1].

Many species are semiaquatic, frequenting streamside and spring habitats throughout their lives.
Increasing aquifer drawdown will result in the loss of some spring habitats and the endemic and dispersal-limited species they support.
Whereas the exposed beach habitat of C. officinalis can be considered more or less continuous following the coastline, the estuary and spring habitats are typically more patchy and isolated.
Also, the historical relationships, as displayed by the TREEMIX analysis, fit a scenario where the ancestral beach ecotype from the Lofoten area dispersed to Troms and in parallel locally adapted to the estuary and spring habitats.
The fragmentary nature of estuary and spring habitats, in combination with limited dispersal, can explain the patterns of strong population affiliation observed within each of the two sampling areas.
