Abstract excerpt
Ficus, with about 755 species, diverse habits and complicated co-evolutionary history with fig wasps, is a notoriously difficult group in taxonomy. DNA barcoding is expected to bring light to the identification of Ficus but needs evaluation of candidate loci. Based on five plastid loci (rbcL, matK, trnH-psbA, psbK-psbI, atpF-atpH) and a nuclear locus [internal transcribed spacer (ITS)], we calculated genetic...
