Genome-wide SNPs data and past distribution models reveal genetic admixture and isolation in the range-restricted Psittacanthus auriculatus mistletoe species.

Abstract excerpt

The study of speciation via adaptation to different hosts is a crucial process in the evolution of parasitism. However, historical isolation and ecological factors also contribute to explaining genetic structure across space, particularly for species with restricted host ranges, alongside factors like reproductive systems, genetic drift, and mutations. Using genome-wide data, we determine the genetic structure...
