Functional divergence between Vachellia and Senegalia could underpin differences in invasiveness and Eltonian niche partitioning in African savannas
For several decades Vachellia and Senegalia have been assumed to be ecological equivalents in African savannas. Their supposedly close evolutionary relationship has, however, been totally revised in light of recent molecular phylogenetic data. These data highlight the deep divergence (± 30 Ma) betwe...
