Geographically proximate rare species exhibit strong population divergence while maintaining intraspecific genetic diversity in <i>Homoranthus</i> (Myrtaceae)
Ecological isolation, life-history traits, and limited dispersal drive both speciation and extinction risk in Homoranthus. Diversification and endemism are linked to habitat fragmentation, highlighting the need for conservation strategies that address ecological connectivity as well as species protection.
