Abstract excerpt
Geographic isolation, natural selection, and demographic history interact to shape genomic divergence, yet their combined effects in island endemics remain poorly understood. We investigated the continental Euptelea pleiosperma and the island endemic E. polyandra using whole-genome resequencing of 119 and 50 individuals, respectively, providing a direct comparison of evolutionary outcomes under contrasting...
