Using 485 nuclear orthologous loci and complete chloroplast genomes from 108 globally distributed samples (57 species), this diagram illustrates phylogenetic relationships within Lonicera. Coalescent-based analyses revealed that incomplete lineage sorting is the dominant source of discordance, whereas introgression is widespread but weak and contributes little to topological conflict.

![#Honeysuckles are arching shrubs or twining vines in the genus Lonicera (/lษหnษชsษrษ/[2]) of the family Caprifoliaceae. The genus includes 158 species[1] native to northern latitudes in North America, Eurasia, and North Africa.[1][3] Widely](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kwb4no4g6e3dkyysuzjoenh4/bafkreiefqf6uvyytzk2jwaqmjbkvytsn233stlikmrjctvif3usvp2asd4)
