Genetic variation in <i>Loudetia simplex</i> supports the presence of ancient grasslands in Madagascar

2023-04-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Research Aims — The extent of Madagascar’s grasslands prior to human colonization is unresolved. We used population genetic analyses of a broadly dominant C 4 fire-adapted grass, Loudetia simplex , as a proxy for estimating grassland change through time. We carefully examined the utility of target-enrichment data for population genetics to make recommendations for conservation genetics. We expl...
