Towards climate-resilient conservation: Integrating genetics and environmental factors in determining adaptive units of a xeric shrub by Yong-Zhi Yang, Pei-Wei Sun, Chong-Yi Ke, Min-Xin Luo, Jui-Tse Chang, Chien-Ti Chao, Run-Hong Gao, Pei-Chun Liao

“…ENM identified the central-east and west-north regions as optimal habitats, while GF analysis revealed seed and breeding zones based on 1637 climate-adaptive SNPs, indicating significant genetic differentiation linked to temperature and precipitation. Population structure analysis revealed both congruences and discrepancies between genetic and climatic clustering, particularly in peripheral regions, suggesting that adaptive genes may not follow isolation-by-distance rules like neutral genes. …”
