This study shows that morphological and ecological traits do not clearly align with genetic structure in Thymus sect. Mastichina, suggesting cryptic lineages and the need for genomic data in species delimitation.

The paper investigates EO diversity in Thymus sect. Mastichina, finding environmental, genetic, and ploidy-level influences on chemical variation.

This study investigates interploidy admixture in Thymus sect. Mastichina using genomic data, revealing distinct diploid and tetraploid groups with complex genetic structuring and potential for cryptic diversity.

The paper analyzes floral pigment frequencies across three regions, finding UV-absorbing phenylpropanoids are widespread, while anthocyanins, carotenoids, and chlorophylls are less common, with frequencies influenced by environmental and pollinator factors.

The paper uses genomic data to assess genetic diversity and mating patterns in Sicilian fir, identifying inbreeding and introgression risks and proposing conservation strategies.
