Integrating genomics and habitat surveys to uncover population structure and regeneration challenges in <i>Adansonia suarezensis</i> (Malvaceae)

Our results demonstrate that A. suarezensis is structured into two genetic groups with low but significant differentiation and that regeneration failure is widespread, but most pronounced in degraded edge habitats. Conservation strategies should therefore prioritize the protection of core forest zones, safeguard pollinator and disperser communities, and reinforce natural regeneration through targeted restoration. By integrating genomic and ecological perspectives, this study provides essential guidance for the long-term conservation of A. suarezensis.

Abstract

Our results demonstrate that A. suarezensis is structured into two genetic groups with low but significant differentiation and that regeneration failure is widespread, but most pronounced in degraded edge habitats. Conservation strategies should therefore prioritize the protection of core forest zones, safeguard pollinator and disperser communities, and reinforce natural regeneration through targeted restoration. By integrating genomic and ecological perspectives, this study provides essential guidance for the long-term conservation of A. suarezensis.
