Abstract excerpt
Discovery of cryptic diversity is essential to understanding both the process of speciation and the conservation of species. Determining species boundaries in fern lineages represents a major challenge due to lack of morphologically diagnostic characters and frequent hybridization. Genomic data has substantially enhanced our understanding of the speciation process, increased the resolution of species delimitation...
