Abstract excerpt
Intraspecific genetic diversity (IGD) is a fundamental component of biodiversity, essential for understanding the evolutionary histories and demographic processes of species, and is key to effective conservation planning. However, ecologically important regions such as the Gran Chaco, South America's second-largest forested biome, remain largely underexplored. Encompassing diverse vegetation across climatic and...
