Description
A protected Chinese camellia keeps its family secrets written in genes, and the mountains around it edit the story. Zheng He and three co-authors survey nine subpopulations of the species inside one nature reserve in 2025, measuring their diversity and how their genes drift apart across ridges and valleys. Clustering drew a clean geographic pattern on the family tree.
Both distance and environment separated the groups, and mountain ridges split them more strongly than valleys did. The reserve's three named massifs mark the genetic borders. Overall diversity matched the genus's typical level. The authors offer the map as a conservation plan: protect each ridge's stock as its own inheritance. Topography, they show, is a geneticist.
