Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Species with small geographical ranges provide insights into adaptation, speciation and genetic drift, while also presenting clear conservation challenges. Homoranthus A.Cunn. ex Schauer (Myrtaceae), an Australian genus with many narrow endemics, offers a model for understanding how ecological and spatial factors drive diversification. We examined a regional hotspot with a high number of...
