Genetic structure of the Sphagnum magellanicum (Sphagnaceae) complex in Europe

Sphagnum magellanicum has historically been interpreted as a widespread species across both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Recent research, however, indicates that it comprises at least seven phylogenetic species, and that S. magellanicum s.str. It is restricted to southern Argentina and Chile. Four species are recorded from North America, and two of them, S. divinum and S. medium, are known to occur in Europe (and are typified by European collections). Here, we assess European plants of this complex to test if two apparent North American endemics, S. diabolicum and S. magniae, occur in Europe, and document the genetic structure of European species of the complex, including gametophyte sex ratios and patterns of genetic diversity. We further assess evidence for gene flow between the species in Europe and between North American and European plants of species that occur on both continents. Molecular data, especially RADseq, were used to assess genetic and phylogenetic pattern..., , , # Data from: Genetic structure of the *Sphagnum magellanicum* (Sphagnaceae) complex in Europe
