Phylogeography and phylogenomic of Cassytha filiformis (Lauraceae) in Mexico
Project summary:
This study explores the genetic diversity and biogeographical history of Cassytha filiformis in Mexico using RADseq and plastome sequencing. Sampling across disjunct regions, it aims to understand evolutionary processes shaping population structure and genetic variation. Results will guide management strategies to mitigate its ecological impact and address environmental adaptability.
