The threatened mint Florida skullcap (Scutellaria floridana) is endemic to four counties in the panhandle. Because development and habitat modification extirpated several historical occurrences, only 19 remain date. To inform conservation management delisting decisions, a comprehensive investigation of genetic diversity relatedness, population structure, clonal was conducted using SNP data generated by ddRAD. Compared with other Lamiaceae, we detected low (HE = 0.125-0.145), moderate...
Hymenocallis henryae is a rare, charismatic spider lily endemic to the Florida panhandle. Currently under review determine if listing Endangered Species Act warranted, this species has undescribed genetic diversity, information crucial process. We conducted field observations of 21 historic populations across species’ geographical range and performed genomic analyses 279 individuals from 19 extant populations. Most had fewer than 40 individuals, while with >100 were found exclusively on...
