Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Three distinct genetic lineages of Buddleja alternifolia were uncovered, corresponding to Himalayan, HDM and LP populations.
- Observation The Loess Plateau population group of Buddleja alternifolia is differentiated from the others morphologically and phenologically.
- Mechanism Allopatric speciation of Buddleja alternifolia is likely facilitated by geographic isolation and divergent adaptation to distinct ecological niches.
- Observation Speciation with gene flow between populations on either side of a mountain barrier could be under way within the Loess Plateau.
- Mechanism Current disjunctions of Buddleja alternifolia might result from vicariance of a once widespread distribution followed by past contraction and expansion events.
- Observation Several adaptive genes of Buddleja alternifolia are likely to be selected among regions, either uniformly or diversely.
