Trade in Zambian Edible Orchids—DNA Barcoding Reveals the Use of Unexpected Orchid Taxa for Chikanda.

Commercialization puts orchid populations in Zambia and neighbouring countries at risk of overharvesting. Hitherto, no study has documented which orchid species are traded on local markets, as... -

Genomic insights into rapid speciation within the world’s largest tree genus [PREPRINT].
Species radiations have long fascinated biologists, but the contribution of adaptation to observed diversity and speciation is still an open question. Here, we explore this question using the clove genus, Syzygium, the world’s largest genus of tree species comprising approximately 1200 species. We dissect Syzygium diversity through shotgun sequencing of...Low, Yee Wen ; Rajaraman, Sitaram ; Tomlin, Crystal ; Ahmad, Joffre Ali ; Ardi, Wisnu …
