Functional traits reveal unaccounted diversity within Sonchus asper (L.) Hill (Asteraceae) in the northern Mediterranean and enable the reinstatement of ancient taxa

Abstract Functional traits express the ecological and evolutionary attributes of individuals that compose taxa, providing robust criteria to detect speciation when integrated with phylogenies. We tested this approach in Sonchus asper (L.) Hill, a putatively self-fertilising annua...
