Description
Danica Harbaugh and colleagues used gene markers to sort a complex tree group in Hawaii, for PLOS ONE in 2009. Five kinds of Metrosideros trees are named in the islands, led by one wide spread form. The trees vary a lot in shape, leaf, and habitat, yet the forms blend into each other.
That blend made it hard to tell where one kind ends and the next begins. The team used nuclear gene markers to test the splits. Gene data can show if named kinds are real lines or just local forms. The answer guides how Hawaii guards its native forests.
