- Relict species are crucial for studying how plant and animal distributions differ across continents, particularly focusing on the unique patterns seen between East Asia and southern Europe/West Asia.
- This study presents the first detailed phylogenetic analysis using DNA sequencing, which includes all species within a specific relict genus, and clarifies taxonomic classifications by integrating morphological data.
- Findings indicate that two main sections of this genus emerged during the early Miocene and the formation of the Gobi Desert significantly contributed to the geographic separation observed today, with further diversification occurring in the late Miocene.
Zelkova species, trees of the elm family (Ulmaceae), are part of the Cenozoic relict flora. In western Eurasia, the genus comprises three species that are restricted to disjunct areas (Z. sicula on Sicily, Z.
