Funding

This research has been supported through a postdoc fellowship to GU provided by the Stipendiumstiftung der Republik Osterreich (ICM-2010-00919, ICM-2010-03401) and the Bolyai Janos Research Scholarship of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (GU). The authors are especially grateful to Prof. Christine Neugebauer-Maresch and her group, as well as Prof. Markus Fiebig and Prof. Franz Ottner for providing samples and help with the field work. Insightful and valuable comments made by Anna Bird and an anonymous reviewer improved this paper considerably and are gratefully acknowledged. Thanks are extended to Neil Glasser for the careful editorial handling of the manuscript.
