Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates genetic diversity and structure in three oak species in central Japan, focusing on the potential for speciation with gene flow, particularly in the semi-endemic Quercus mongolica var. mongolicoides (QM) and other common species.
- - Using an approximate Bayesian computation approach, researchers analyzed population size changes and migration history, revealing distinct genetic structures among the three oaks but notable genetic admixture, especially between QM and Q. mongolica var. crispula (QC).
- - Findings suggest that QM and QC are in an early speciation stage with ongoing gene flow, whereas Q. mongolica var. crispula (QC) and Q. serrata (QS) have already undergone more established spec
