Article Synopsis
- The text discusses how differences between mitochondrial and nuclear genetic patterns help understand the population dynamics of the fire salamander in peninsular Italy, underlining their importance for biodiversity monitoring using DNA barcoding.
- Research identified two main population groups of the fire salamander, with surprising geographic boundaries between mitochondrial and nuclear markers being 600 km apart.
- The findings reveal that past hybridization events and mitochondrial introgression influence genetic structure, highlighting the complexity of evolutionary processes in Salamandra salamandra populations.
