Macro-Morphological and Ecological Variation in Rosa sericea Complex

Taxon delimitation and identification are important in many areas of biology, especially taxonomy conservation. Taxonomic treatment is required to establish justify recommendations conservation biology for the group being considered. Imperfect controversial can undermine assessment. We studied 71 populations; 665 individuals corresponding morphology Rosa sericea complex (including six taxa, one which has extremely narrow distributions) were collected from sympatric, parapatric, allopatric populations distributed China. This study aims investigate whether species macromorphologically different evaluate rare taxa priority. The morphological characters principal component analysis (PCA) R. showed that have overlapping but distinguish morphologically. systematics status based on previous DNA sequencing controversial. ecological habitat’s current only delimit morrisonensis (in Taiwan). To evade mistakes conservation, we recommend taxonomical knowledge be needed ensure success protecting target species. Thus, complementarity systemic assurance makes actions more necessary complex’s taxa. niche modelling (ENM) results habitats these conspecific would shrunken. With presence snapshots time, geography might decrease rapidly representative entirely Geographic space (G-space) Environmental (E-space) such bright inhabit. So far, significant inferences meant occupy most incredible comparative research, taking impermanent nature distributions undertaking at a state stability. If artificially identified (rarely distributed) identification, they must conserved.
