Phylogeography and genetic diversity of Ulmus elongata (Ulmaceae), a Tertiary relict tree with extremely small populations (PSESP) by Yakun Wang, Xiankun Wang, Junyuan Wu, Jun Yang, Yanpei Liu, Peng Guo, Fude Shang, Nan Lin

“…Furthermore, the low genetic diversity and significant genetic differentiation in U. elongata populations can be primarily ascribed to a combination of factors, including habitat fragmentation resulting from human activities, populations contraction during LGM and small population sizes. This provides a crucial foundation for guiding conservation efforts and implementing management strategies for other Tertiary relict tree species and PSESP. …”
