SB23031Embracing biodiversity: multispecies population genomics of leafless Bossiaea species shows novel taxa, population dynamics and conservation strategies
This study investigates the population dynamics, diversity and taxonomy of leafless Bossiaea species, a distinctive group of Australian plants, by using whole-genome single-nucleotide polymorphism data. The findings suggest recognition of a new subspecies, Bossiaea vombata subsp. orientalis, and a change in status for B. milesiae to B. fragrans subsp. milesiae. We also highlight challenges in reproduction and gene flow among Bossiaea populations, emphasising the need for coordinated conservation efforts. (Image credit: Keith McDougall.)
