Solórzano S., López-Ruiz N. E., Treviño-Carreón J., Rosas-Aguilar S. A., Assessment of the Geographic Distribution and Molecular Variation of Mammillaria candida: Perspectives for Its Conservation, Diversity, 2026, 18(5):294, doi: 10.3390/d18050294
Verification of the geographical distribution of Mammilloydia candida, described in the paper as Mammillaria candida, combines field visits and a critical review of GBIF records. The authors compare niche models based on climate and soil, overlay their results on protected areas and analyse a chloroplast fragment and five nuclear microsatellite markers. The paper presents the scattered localities, variation and genetic structure, and grounds for selecting conservation units.
