Shuran Yao,Weigang Hu,Mingfei Ji et al.
Shuran Yao et al.
Studies on plant diversity are usually based on the total number of species in a community. However, few studies have examined species richness (SR) of different plant life forms in a community along large-scale environmental gradients. Par...
Multi-disciplinary evidence illuminates the speciation history of a monophyletic yet dimorphic lily group [0.03%]
多学科证据阐明了单系却形态二型的百合群的分化历史
Yu Feng,Chaochao Yan,Wen-Qin Tu et al.
Yu Feng et al.
Species boundaries are dynamic and constantly challenged by gene flow. Understanding the strategies different lineages adopt to maintain ecological and genetic distinctiveness requires employing an integrative species concept that incorpora...
An integrative approach clarifies species delimitation and biogeographic history of Debregeasia (Urticaceae) [0.03%]
