Claim · model-written summary
The authors interpret the coastal genetic pattern as consistent with distinct evolution since the Miocene and westward movement under drier, hotter conditions.
Verbatim
e0“supporting the idea of a distinct evolution from the Miocene onwards, when the installation of dry and hot conditions has pushed the moisture-dependent populations of G. ancistracarpa toward the westernmost sectors of Iberia and Morocco with an atlantic influence”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Nuclear ribosomal DNA analysis supports separation of Genista ancistrocarpa and G. anglica as distinct genetic entities.
- Observation The studied G. ancistrocarpa populations form a coastal taxon distributed in western Iberia and northwest Morocco.
- Observation The two species have apparently distinct distribution areas.
- Observation The coastal clade comprises G. ancistrocarpa populations and appears genetically distinct from other peninsular populations.
