Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Exploring the interplay of environmental variability and adaptation of an endemic species is essential to unravel its evolutionary history and lays the groundwork for assessing how it may react to the accelerating pace of climate change. Employing a population genomics method, this research sought to investigate the adaptation of a cycad species, Cycas segmentifida, to heterogeneous...
