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 …

Update on the systematics of Benstonea (Pandanaceae): When a visionary taxonomist foresees phylogenetic relationships.
The paleotropical monocot Pandanaceae family comprises c. 700 species distributed into five genera: Benstonea (c. 60 spp.), Freycinetia (c. 250 spp.), Martellidendron (6 spp.), Pandanus (c. 450 spp.) and Sararanga (2 spp.). Benstonea was circumscribed to include species previously placed in Pandanus section Acrostigma (one of the four sections of...Callmander, Martin W. ; Booth, Thomas J. ; Beentje, Henk ; Buerki, Sven

Phylogenomic analyses of Sapindales support new family relationships, rapid Mid-Cretaceous Hothouse diversification, and heterogeneous histories of gene duplication.
Sapindales is an angiosperm order of high economic and ecological value comprising nine families, c. 479 genera, and c. 6570 species. However, family and subfamily relationships in Sapindales remain unclear, making reconstruction of the order’s spatio-temporal and morphological evolution difficult. In this study, we used Angiosperms353 target capture data to... -

Notes on Isoglossinae (Acanthaceae) in Madagascar, with four new species of Isoglossa.
Current generic delimitation in subtribe Isoglossinae of Acanthaceae is discussed using available morphological and molecular data. Particular consideration is given to the small genera endemic to Madagascar — Benoist, S.Moore, Benoist and the illegitimate Benoist — and how these relate to the current circumscription of Oerst. The relative merits and...Darbyshire, Iain ; Onjalalaina, Guy E. ; Callmander, Martin W. ; Phillipson, Peter B. ; Kiel, Carrie A.
