Molecular phylogenetics of Distephanus supports the recognition of a new tribe, Distephaneae (Asteraceae).
Distephanus Cass. comprises 43 distinctive species of shrubs and small trees that have been placed historically within the ironweed tribe, Vernonieae (Asteraceae). Using the most expansive sampling of Distephanus to date, this study aims to test the monophyly of this genus and facilitate its classification. Molecular phylogenetic analyses were conducted...Gostel, M. R. ; Loeuille, Benoit ; Santana, Mariana Henriques ; Kelloff, Carol L ; Chan, Raymund …

Phylogenomics and the rise of the angiosperms
Angiosperms are the cornerstone of most terrestrial ecosystems and human livelihoods1,2. A robust understanding of angiosperm evolution is required to explain their rise to ecological dominance. So far, the angiosperm tree of life has been determined primarily by means of analyses of the plastid genome3,4. Many studies have drawn on...Zuntini, Alexandre R. ; Carruthers, Tom ; Maurin, Olivier ; Bailey, Paul C. ; Leempoel, Kevin …

Envisaging a global infrastructure to exploit the potential of digitised collections.
Tens of millions of images from biological collections have become available online over the last two decades. In parallel, there has been a dramatic increase in the capabilities of image analysis technologies, especially those involving machine learning and computer vision. While image analysis has become mainstream in consumer applications, it... -

A new classification for Lipocarpha and Volkiella as infrageneric taxa of Cyperus s.l. (Cypereae, Cyperoideae, Cyperaceae): insights from species tree reconstruction supplemented with morphological and floral developmental data.
Recent molecular phylogenetic analyses showed that Lipocarpha and Volkiella are nested in a paraphyletic Cyperus s.s. and therefore should be viewed as part of a broadly circumscribed genus Cyperus (Cyperaceae). In this paper, molecular phylogenetic analyses of Lipocarpha and Volkiella based on nuclear ribosomal ETS1f and plastid rpl32-trnL and trnH-psbA...Bauters, Kenneth ; Larridon, Isabel ; Reynders, Marc ; Asselman, Pieter ; Vrijdaghs, Alexander …

Bulbostylis albidostricta (Abildgaardieae, Cyperaceae): a new sedge species from Angola.
Bulbostylis albidostricta Veltjen & Goetgh. is presented as new species of Bulbostylis (Cyperaceae) from Angola. It is a small, elegant sedge species characterised by a slender creeping rhizome, a single terminal spikelet, glumes with a translucent margin and white velate nutlets. The species is described and illustrated, and differences with...Veltjen, Emily ; Browning, Jane ; Goetghebeur, Paul ; Larridon, Isabel
