High cryptic species diversity is revealed by genome-wide polymorphisms in a wild relative of banana, Musa itinerans, and implications for its conservation in subtropical China
Abstract Background Species delimitation is a challenging but essential task in conservation biology. Morphologically similar species are sometimes difficult to recognize even after examination by experienced taxonomists. With the advent of molecular approaches in species delimitation, this hidden d...
