A. Gibert, B. Schatz, R. Buscail, D. Nguyen, M. Baguette, N. Barthes, J. A. M. Bertrand
The paper investigates early speciation processes in Ophrys orchids by analyzing phenotypic and genomic divergence in six populations, identifying a genomic island linked to floral odor variation and candidate genes involved in color and odor pathways.
