Evolutionary radiations in the species-rich mountain genus Saxifraga L.

Evolutionary radiations in the species-rich mountain genus Saxifraga L.

Abstract Background A large number of taxa have undergone evolutionary radiations in mountainous areas, rendering alpine systems particularly suitable to study the extrinsic and intrinsic factors that have shaped diversification patterns in plants. The species-rich genus Saxifraga L. is widely distr...
