Genomic signatures of past megafrugivore-mediated dispersal in Malagasy palms

2023-01-21

Abstract excerpt

Seed dispersal is a key process in the generation and maintenance of genetic diversity and genetic differentiation of plant populations in tropical ecosystems. During the Last Quaternary, most seed-dispersing megafauna was lost globally, but whether this has caused dispersal limitation, loss of genetic diversity, and increased genetic differentiation between plant populations with large, ‘megafaunal’ fruits (i.e.,...
