Historical Climatic Fluctuations and Geographic Isolation Shaped the Phylogeographic Patterns of a Mycoheterotrophic Species in Subtropical China

open access: yesBiological Diversity, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 33-46, March 2026.
Plastome and microsatellite data reveal strong population structure but low genetic diversity in the fully mycoheterotrophic herb Burmannia nepalensis across subtropical China. Multiple glacial refugia and recent population decline highlight the roles of geographic isolation, climatic history, and human disturbance in shaping the biodiversity of ...

Evolutionary legacy of the “living fossil” genus Parrotia (Hamamelidaceae): genomic insights into species divergence and polygenic adaptation

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 123, Issue 2, July 2025.
Significance Statement Parrotia is a Tertiary relict “living fossil” tree genus with two extant species (P. subaequalis and P. persica) exhibiting a disjunct distribution between East Asia and West Asia. Despite their long evolutionary history, the genomic basis of adaptation and speciation in this “living fossil” tree genus remain largely unexplored ...
