Demographic modelling helps track the rapid and recent divergence of a conifer species pair from Central Mexico. [PDF]
Mol Ecol, 2022 Abstract Secondary contact of recently diverged species may have several outcomes, ranging from rampant hybridization to reinforced reproductive isolation. In plants, selfing tolerance and disjunct reproductive phenology may lead to reproductive isolation at contact zones. However, they may also evolve under both allopatric or parapatric frameworks and

Loss of the IR region in conifer plastomes: Changes in the selection pressure and substitution rate of protein-coding genes. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 There are significant differences in the selection pressure of 12 genes and the evolution rate of 9 genes between conifer and non‐conifer. This difference seems to be not related to the loss of typical IR regions but related to habitat. And the newly obtained short IR region plays a role in stabilizing the genome.

Local Adaptation and Climate Change Vulnerability of the Relict Tree Species <i>Taiwania cryptomerioides</i> Provide Insights Into Its Conservation and Restoration. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Rapid climate change is affecting biodiversity and threatening locally adapted species. Relict species are often confined to relatively narrow, discontinuous geographic ranges and provide excellent opportunities to study local adaptation and extinction.

Phylogeography of a herbal Pinellia ternata reveals repeated range expansions and inter/postglacial recolonization routes on the fragmented distribution pattern in China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMost plant phylogeographic studies in China have focused on the importance of genetic divergence and where should the shelter be located. Little attention has been paid to range expansion and recolonization routes in this region. Our study reveals repeated range expansions and inter/postglacial recolonization routes on the fragmented distribution ...

Opening a new era of investigating unreachable cliff flora using smart UAVs
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 638-648, December 2021., 2021 Cliff flora is one of the least understood vegetation types and cliff ecosystems are considered the ‘Last Unknown’ due to inaccessibility to humans. However, obtaining information on these undisturbed ecosystems and cliff flora is fundamental and is of high priority for ecologists and conservationists alike.
