Cryptic divergence in and evolutionary dynamics of endangered hybrid Picea brachytyla sensu stricto in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
Our findings shed light on the highly dynamic evolutionary processes underlying the remarkably similar phenotypes of the two lineages of this endangered species. Importantly, these results enhance our understanding of the evolutionary past for this and for other endangered species with similar histories, and also provide guidance for the development of conservation plans.
