The contribution of multiple barriers to reproduction between edaphically divergent lineages in the Amazonian tree (Burseraceae).

Disentangling the strength and importance of barriers to reproduction that arise between diverging lineages is central to our understanding of species origin and maintenance. To date, the vast majority of studies investigating the importance of different barriers to reproduction in plants have focused on short-lived temperate taxa while studies of reproductive isolation in trees and tropical taxa are rare. Here, we systematically examine multiple barriers to reproduction in an Amazonian tree, (Burseraceae) with diverging lineages of soil specialist ecotypes.
