Virtual issue: phylogeographic studies in the Japanese Archipelago: from geographic patterns of genetic variation to biodiversity in plants

Phylogeographic studies have investigated genetic variation and structure within species or closely related lineages and are fundamental for understanding factors and processes of genetic divergence as well as speciation. This virtual issue collects 35 papers on phylogeographic studies published in the Journal of Plant Research and focuses on three major topics in biodiversity: (1) biogeography, (2) systematics, and (3) evolution.
