General sampling guide for timber tracking: how to collect reference samples for timber identification
This is a guide for the collection of reference samples of trees to enable the identification of species and/or geographical origin of woody material. It is an update of the sampling section of the GTTN standards and guidelines (Ekué 2014) and builds further on a discussion initiated during a workshop... -

Native Useful Plants of Chile: A Review and Use Patterns
We compiled an inventory of the uses of the native flora of Chile by extracting uses cited in the literature until 2015. The inventory reported use citations for a total of 995 species of useful vascular plants (23% of Chile’s flora). These data were used to test the hypothesis that...Díaz-Forestier, Javiera ; León-Lobos, Pedro ; Marticorena, Alicia ; Celis-Diez, Juan ; Giovannini, Peter

Ecological speciation in sympatric palms: 3. Genetic map reveals genomic islands underlying species divergence in Howea
Although it is now widely accepted that speciation can occur in the face of continuous gene flow, with little or no spatial separation, the mechanisms and genomic architectures that permit such divergence are still debated. Here, we examined speciation in the face of gene flow in the Howea palms of...Papadopulos, Alexander ; Igea, Javier ; Dunning, Luke ; Osborne, Owen ; Quan, Xueping …

Ecological speciation in sympatric palms: 4. Demographic analyses support speciation of Howea in the face of high gene flow
The idea that populations must be geographically isolated (allopatric) to evolve into separate species has persisted for a long time. It is now clear that new species can also diverge despite ongoing genetic exchange, but few accepted cases of speciation in sympatry have held up when scrutinized using modern approaches....Papadopulos, Alexander ; Igea, Javier ; Smith, Thomas ; Hutton, Ian ; Baker, William …

Speciation in Howea palms occurred in sympatry, was preceded by ancestral admixture, and was associated with edaphic and phenological adaptation
Howea palms are viewed as one of the most clear-cut cases of speciation in sympatry. The sister species H. belmoreana and H. forsteriana are endemic to the oceanic Lord Howe Island, Australia, where they have overlapping distributions and are reproductively isolated mainly by flowering time differences. However, the potential role...Osborne, Owen ; Ciezarek, Adam ; Wilson, Trevor ; Crayn, Darren ; Hutton, Ian …

New circumscription, morphology and synopsis of Chamaecrista sect. Chamaecrista ser. Coriaceae (Leguminosae)
A new circumscription of Chamaecrista sect. Chamaecrista ser. Coriaceae is presented based on the results of molecular and morphological analyses. The series is monophyletic upon exclusion of three species that were included within it by Irwin and Barneby. Morphological variation within the series is discussed. Characters previously neglected, such as...Rando, Juliana Gastaldello ; Pirani, José Rubens ; Cota, Matheus Martins Teixeira ; Lewis, Gwilym Peter
