Population dynamics and evolutionary history of an endemic Sambucus africana Standl. (Viburnaceae): Evidence from complete plastomes and ecological niche analysis

Emmanuel Nyongesa Waswa; Elijah Mbandi Mkala; Jacinta Katunge Kawenze; et al. Global Ecology and Conservation 2025. doi:10.1016/j.gecco.2025.e03671

Other claims from this paper (10)

Observation S. africana plastomes have typical quadripartite structure and 129 unique genes.
Observation The plastomes contain 88 protein coding genes.
Observation The plastomes contain 33 tRNAs.
Observation The plastomes contain eight rRNAs.
Observation Isolated African limit populations showed substantial intraspecific variation.
Observation Viburnaceae major lineages diverged around 80.89 Mya.
Observation Within genus diversification was dated to the Eocene or later.
Observation Ancestral reconstruction placed the most probable Sambucus origin in Asia.
Observation Under SSP585, suitable S. africana habitat is projected to decline relative to SSP126 in the named East African regions.
Recommendation The authors recommend conservation units for western and eastern Mt. Elgon groups.
