Baobabs can live for more than 1,000 years, acting as the keystone species in dry forest environments in Madagascar, a swathe of continental Africa, and northwest Australia. Known as \u201cmother of the forest\u201d and \u201cthe tree of life,\u201d\u00a0nearly every part of the tree can be used by humans\u00a0and animals, meaning they\u2019re of enormous value to each ecosystem they inhabit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their reputation has only been burnished by the mystery as to where they originated. Until now, science has had to make do with multiple conflicting hypotheses \u2013 the dominant theory being that they came from mainland Africa. Not so, according to a study published last month in the journal\u00a0Nature. A team of international academics successfully sequenced the genomes of each of the eight baobab species, examining their relationship with one another and concluded that they originated in Madagascar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The news comes as the trees face a precipitous decline on the island, home to six baobab species, with one likely to become extinct by 2080 according to the study, unless significant interventions are put in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biologists had struggled to determine the tree\u2019s origins, as no fossils of ancient baobabs or their ancestors have been discovered, explained Dr. Wan Jun-Nan, one of the authors of the study, a researcher at the Wuhan Botanical Garden in Hubei, China. What genetic data had been retrieved from baobabs in previous studies was limited, he continued. But with the first full genome sequence of each species, \u201cwe can tell a good story about the evolutionary history,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That story begins with the rise of baobabs in Madagascar around 21 million years ago, before the genus (scientific name\u00a0<em>Adansonia<\/em>) began to diversify, and two species made their way to Africa and Australia around 12 million years ago. This occurred well after the separation of the \u201csupercontinent\u201d Gondwana, so the baobab is likely to have spread through seeds carried across the ocean on floating debris caused by flash floods, according to the researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study, a collaboration between Wuhan Botanical Gardens, China, the Royal Botanic Gardens in the UK, the University of Antananarivo in Madagascar and Queen Mary University of London, was also able to trace the interspecies gene flow of the eight types of baobab for the first time. This data, which demonstrated low genetic diversity between two species, and inbreeding of one species with another more populous species, offers insights into the competition between baobabs today, said Dr. Wan, and could help protect the trees of tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe hope that in the future, the people of Madagascar can take care of baobabs (by) considering them as different species, not as a whole,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only one baobab species is not included in the IUCN\u2019s Red List of Threatened Species:&nbsp;<em>A. digitata<\/em>, which populates mainland Africa. Three species in Madagascar are threatened with extinction, and the study recommended the IUCN recategorize one,&nbsp;<em>A. suarezensis<\/em>, from \u201cendangered\u201d to \u201ccritically endangered.\u201d Climate modeling indicated the species could become extinct within 50 years without greater intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That prediction is \u201cplausible\u201d and \u201chighlights the urgent need for action,\u201d according to Dr. Seheno Andriantsaralaza, a tropical ecologist working in Madagascar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Andriantsaralaza, who was not involved in the research, supported the call to update the IUCN status of certain Malagasy baobabs. Though she described the study as \u201cfantastic and meaningful,\u201d yielding \u201cvaluable\u201d genetic data insights, she cautioned that \ufeffit represented&nbsp;\u201cjust one piece of the puzzle in understanding the evolutionary history and dispersal mechanisms of these iconic giant trees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The study\u2019s modeling concluded the range of baobab species has been reducing on the island for millennia, with human-caused climate change and ongoing deforestation exacerbating the shrinkage and fragmentation of baobab populations in recent decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Andriantsaralaza said \u201cit\u2019s crucial to recognize that amidst the challenges, there are local success stories and initiatives led by local organizations and local researchers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She cited conservation group&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.madagasikara-voakajy.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madagasikara Voakajy<\/a>, which coordinates projects on the north of the island that have focused on protecting&nbsp;<em>A. perrieri&nbsp;<\/em>and&nbsp;<em>A. suarezensis<\/em>. Also&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.nationalacademies.org\/PGA\/PEER\/PEERscience\/PGA_364181\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PEER<\/a>, a USAID-backed program she is involved in, aims to empower locals to contribute to the sustainable management of the ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMadagascar\u2019s baobab forests belong to the local communities that rely on natural resources to feed their families,\u201d she added. \u201cThey should be part of the solution, not the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Wan said he hoped the research and media attention would prompt further conservation efforts of the island\u2019s baobabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While hailing the breakthrough, \ufeffhe acknowledged the study\u2019s limitations \u2013 only one individual per species was sequenced \u2013 though hoped future research would expand sampling and answer further outstanding questions about the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The likelihood of finding fossil evidence to rubberstamp the conclusions of the genetic data is slim, Dr. Wan conceded. So perhaps these majestic trees may retain some of their mystery after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For millions of years, mighty baobabs have been standing sentry on three different landmasses, posing each other an existential question: Who came first?
