Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cycads are the most threatened group of seed plants, with isolation and habitat fragmentation among the primary drivers of species decline. Understanding how genetic diversity is distributed across populations is crucial for informing conservation management and identifying genetically vulnerable populations that require conservation attention. METHODS: Here we investigated the genetic...
