This study uses genome-wide data to show that Typha species diverged allopatrically without gene flow, followed by secondary contact, with little evidence of ecological speciation driving differentiation.

The paper uses genomic data to compare reproductive isolation between Typha species in Europe and North America, finding stronger isolation in Europe due to prolonged sympatry.

The paper develops genomic resources for Typha, a wetland plant genus, by sequencing 140 samples and identifying SNPs and plastome sequences to study genetic diversity and hybridization.

The paper presents five genetic markers to distinguish invasive Typha hybrids from parent species and advanced-generation hybrids in eastern Canada and northeastern USA.
