Refugial isolation and ecological niche differentiation promote genetic divergence of <i>Oresitrophe</i> and <i>Mukdenia</i> in Northeast Asia
Refugial isolation, climatic barriers, and niche differentiation likely influenced the genetic divergence of Oresitrophe and Mukdenia. Our study has implications for the structure of plant diversity in temperate deciduous forests of Northeast Asia and provides insights into conservation units worthy of protection and management for species of both genera.
