Divergent lineages in a young species: The case of datilillo (Yucca valida), a broadly distributed plant from the Baja California Peninsula.

Abstract excerpt

PREMISE: Globally, barriers triggered by climatic changes have caused habitat fragmentation and population allopatric divergence. Across North America, oscillations during the Quaternary have played important roles in the distribution of wildlife. Notably, diverse plant species from the Baja California Peninsula in western North America, isolated during the Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles, exhibit strong...
