New progress in exploring the mechanisms underlying extraordinarily high biodiversity in global hotspots and their implications for conservation

Recent Advances in the Integrative Taxonomy of Plants

“…Despite the widespread use of methods such as chemophenetics, ecological metabolomics, phylogenetics, flow cytometry, palynology, biogeography, and ecological niche modelling, which provide extensive information for analysis, conventional morphological methods are still relevant in hotspots with a high level of taxonomic diversity, including new species [ 50 ]. Recently, a new species, Primula luquanensis Z.K.Wu et Wei Zhou (Yunnan Province, China), was described and illustrated using classical taxonomy.…”
