Genomic diversity guides conservation strategies among rare terrestrial orchid species when taxonomy remains uncertain.

Abstract excerpt

Background and Aims: Species are often used as the unit for conservation, but may not be suitable for species complexes where taxa are difficult to distinguish. Under such circumstances, it may be more appropriate to consider species groups or populations as evolutionarily significant units (ESUs). A population genomic approach was employed to investigate the diversity within and among closely related species to...
