Genetic differentiation and species cohesion in two widespread Central American Begonia species.

Heredity - 1 Apr 2014

Twyford A D, Kidner C A, Ennos R A

Abstract excerpt

Begonia is one of the ten largest plant genera, with over 1500 species. This high species richness may in part be explained by weak species cohesion, which has allowed speciation by divergence in allopatry. In this study, we investigate species cohesion in the widespread Central American Begonia heracleifolia and Begonia nelumbiifolia, by genotyping populations at microsatellite loci. We then test for...
