Chromosome numbers and heterochromatin variation in introgressed and non-introgressed populations of Epidendrum (Orchidaceae: Epidendroideae): interspecific transfers of heterochromatin lead to divergent variable karyotypes in the parental populations.
Some groups in Epidendrum have stable chromosome numbers, whereas the species of Epidendrum subgenus Amphiglottium exhibit high levels of chromosome number variability and other genomic alterations. Polyploidy and dysploidy have both been invoked to explain chromosome number variation in the subgenus, but little is known about what is driving the...Nollet, Felipe ; Medeiros Neto, Enoque ; Cordeiro, Joel M P ; Buril, Maria Teresa ; Chase, Mark W …

The role of Quaternary glaciations in shaping biogeographic patterns in a recently evolved clade of South American epiphytic orchids.
To contribute to what is known about involvement of vegetation dynamics in Neotropical speciation, we used the Epidendrum latilabre complex, a taxonomically well-defined species group, to investigate past connections between Amazonian (AM) and Atlantic (AF) forests and address the following topics: (1) divergence times between sister species currently distributed in...
