Genotyping-by-sequencing informs conservation of Andean palms sources of non-timber forest products. [PDF]

Evol Appl
Abstract Conservation and sustainable management of lineages providing non‐timber forest products are imperative under the current global biodiversity loss. Most non‐timber forest species, however, lack genomic studies that characterize their intraspecific variation and evolutionary history, which inform species' conservation practices.
