Potential risk of dipterocarps in the marginal Asian rainforests: low population size and high genomic erosion
Our findings underscore the urgent need to monitor genomic health and implement effective conservation measures to safeguard V. guangxiensis. This study highlights the critical role of genomic data in assessing population health and informing strategies for the preservation of endangered species in marginal tropical rainforests.
