Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Genomic data confirmed Z. obcordata as a distinct species.
- Observation Bathurst and Wellington populations had enough divergence to warrant two subspecies.
- Observation Minor morphological differences supported separation of the subspecies.
- Observation Genomic analysis found minimal gene flow between subspecies.
- Observation Both subspecies had extremely low heterozygosity.
- Observation Both subspecies had high inbreeding coefficients.
- Observation Both subspecies had exceptionally low genetic diversity compared with other Zieria species.
- Observation Each subspecies was assessed as qualifying for Critically Endangered status.
- Recommendation The authors recommend promoting gene flow to improve diversity and fitness.
