Nearly Synchronous Speciation in the Mexican Highlands: Did the Juniperus deppeana Complex Diverge Under Peripatry?

Molecular ecology - 1 Nov 2025

Martínez de León Rodrigo, Vega Melania, Gernandt David S, Jaramillo-Correa Juan Pablo, Moreno-Letelier Alejandra

Abstract excerpt

Speciation is a central focus in evolutionary biology, yet the processes driving diversification in montane regions remain incompletely understood. The Mexican highlands, a hotspot of conifer diversity characterised by complex topography and pronounced climatic heterogeneity, offer a unique setting to study these dynamics. Here, we investigated the genetic and taxonomic diversity within the Juniperus deppeana...
