Premise Of The Study: Microsatellite loci were isolated from four species of (Adoxaceae) to study population structure and assess species boundaries among morphologically similar South American species of the clade.
Methods And Results: Using a microsatellite-enriched library and mining next-generation sequence data, 16 microsatellites were developed. Each locus was tested on two populations of and one population of . For nuclear loci, one to 13 alleles were recovered, expected heterozygosity ranged from 0 to 0.8975, Simpson diversity index ranged from 0.0167 to 1.000, and Shannon diversity index ranged from 0 to 2.3670 in a given population. For the mitochondrial locus, three to six alleles were recovered and unbiased haploid diversity values ranged from 0.756 to 0.853 in a given population.
Conclusions: The 16 microsatellite loci developed for the clade (, Adoxaceae) will inform investigations of population structure and species boundaries within this group.

A fundamental objective of evolutionary biology is to understand the origin of independently evolving species. Phylogenetic studies of species radiations rarely are able to document ongoing speciation; instead, modes of speciation, entailing geographic separation and/or ecological differentiation, are posited retrospectively. The Oreinotinus clade of Viburnum has radiated recently from north to south through the cloud forests of Mexico and Central America to the Central Andes.

Trees and shrubs provide important ecological services. However, few studies have surveyed the virome in trees and shrubs. In this study, we discovered a new positive-sense RNA virus originating from Viburnum odoratissimum, which we named "Vo narna-like virus".

About 160 species are classified within the Viburnum genus and many of these are cultivated for horticultural purposes. The vast dispersal of Viburnum makes the genus a useful model for studying evolutionary history and inferring how species expanded into their current distributions. Simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were previously developed for five Viburnum species that were classified within the four major clades (Laminotinus, Crenotinus, Valvatotinus, and Porphyrotinus).
