                  | 1) Speciation and evolutionary history of Taxus wallichiana
 The interplay of orographic uplift and climatic changes in the Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains region (HHM) is believed to have played a key role in speciation and population demography. To gain further insight into these processes, we investigated their effects on Taxus wallichiana by combining molecular phylogeography and species distri...
