Abstract excerpt
The population genetics and phylogeography of Trema dielsiana in Taiwan were inferred from genetic diversity at the nonsymbiotic hemoglobin gene and the trnL-trnF intergenic spacer of cpDNA. Reduced genetic variation was detected in these two unlinked genes. The gene genealogy of the hemoglobin locus recovered two lineages corresponding to the western and eastern regions of Taiwan. This pattern is compatible with...
