Abstract excerpt
Phylogenetic discordance, where genetic and phenotypic signals conflict, challenges our understanding of evolutionary histories in rapidly radiating species. In this study, we investigated these dynamics in the felid genera Otocolobus, Prionailurus, and Felis, focusing on Pallas's cat (Otocolobus manul), to elucidate how genetics and natural selection shape rapid radiations. Comparative morphological analyses and...
