Maintenance of species boundaries in a Neotropical radiation of Begonia.

Molecular ecology - 1 Oct 2015

Twyford Alex D, Kidner Catherine A, Ennos Richard A

Abstract excerpt

A major goal of evolutionary biology is to determine the mechanisms generating biodiversity. In Begonia, one of the largest plant genera (1900+ species), it has been postulated that the high number of endemic species is a by-product of low gene flow among populations, which predisposes the group to speciation. However, this model of divergence requires that reproductive barriers accumulate rapidly among diverging...
