Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Phenotypic, ecological, and genetic differences are crucial for species delimitation and understanding speciation. However, the defining the distribution boundaries and mechanisms driving lineage differentiation of Taxus species in northern and central China remain unclear. This study combines three molecular markers (trnL-trnF, rbcL, ITS), leaf morphological, and ecological data, integrating multiple...
