Barrios-Leal D. Y., Menezes R. S. T., Zappi D., Manfrin M. H., Unravelling the genetic diversity and population dynamics of three Tacinga species (Cactaceae: Opuntioideae) in the Caatinga, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2024, 204(3):256-266, doi: 10.1093/botlinnean/boad054
Variation in plastid markers and the PhyC gene in 222 plants of Tacinga inamoena, T. subcylindrica and T. palmadora. Analyses examine species distinctness, geographical structure, dating of lineage divergence, demographic reconstructions and palaeohabitat modelling. The methods differ in the strength of support for past population growth.
