Allozyme diversity and morphometrics of the endangered Melocactus glaucescens (Cactaceae), and investigation of the putative hybrid origin of Melocactus x albicephalus (Melocactus ernestii x M. glaucescens) in north-eastern Brazil

2006-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Melocactus glaucescens (Cactaceae) is a critically endangered species endemic to north-eastern Brazil. It grows in sympatry with other congeneric species and there is evidence for hybridization among them. We evaluated the levels of genetic and morphological variability and their substructuring between populations of M. glaucescens and sympatric species, and we tested for the occurrence of natural hybridization. G...
