Lakes in the Alps hide a surprising story: Alpine populations are genetically identical to the Nordic Ranunculus confervoides, yet show unexpected haplotype diversity and novel hybrids, revealing a complex evolutionary history. preslia.cz/doi/preslia.2025.191.html

Urtica kioviensis is a rare species of river basins. Hybridization with the widespread U. dioica was confirmed at six sites in central Europe. It affects genetic integrity of U. kioviensis and can pose a risk to small populations of this species. https://t.co/BBAKa8SL39 pic.twitter.com/2ifu5lTNBU
