Botany One on Nostr: Does it matter that two similar orchids species are actually different from each ...
Does it matter that two similar orchids species are actually different from each other? It does if you want to preserve orchid diversity, because it means that one species cannot vbe replaced by another. In turn, that makes ongoing habitat loss in their respective homes a series problem, and now both species are now listed as Endangered. The research also suggests that herbaria may be holding other examples of closely related species under one label, which may be hiding other conservation needs.
