The holocentric chromosome microevolution: From phylogeographic patterns to genomic associations with environmental gradients.
Geographic isolation and chromosome evolution are two of the major drivers of diversification in eukaryotes in general, and specifically, in plants. On one hand, range shifts induced by Pleistocene glacial oscillations deeply shaped the evolutionary trajectories of species in the Northern Hemisphere. On the other hand, karyotype variability within species... -

A framework infrageneric classification of Carex (Cyperaceae) and its organizing principles
Phylogenetic studies of Carex L. (Cyperaceae) have consistently demonstrated that most subgenera and sections are para‐ or polyphyletic. Yet taxonomists continue to use subgenera and sections in Carex classification. Why? The Global Carex Group here takes the position that the historical and continued use of subgenera and sections serves to...Roalson, Eric H. ; Jiménez‐Mejías, Pedro ; Hipp, Andrew L. ; Benítez‐Benítez, Carmen ; Bruederle, Leo P. …

The evolutionary history of sedges (Cyperaceae) in Madagascar
Aim Madagascar is renowned for its unparalleled biodiversity and endemism. With many ecosystems under threat, research is urgently needed on its unique plant diversity. This applies both to Madagascar's forests and treeless vegetation types. Sedges (Cyperaceae) are among the top 10 species‐richest angiosperm families in Madagascar (310 native species, 38%... -

What drives diversification in a pantropical plant lineage with extraordinary capacity for long‐distance dispersal and colonization?
Aim Colonization of new areas may entail shifts in diversification rates linked to biogeographical movement (dispersification), which may involve niche evolution if species were not exapted to new environments. Scleria (Cyperaceae) includes c. 250 species and has a pantropical distribution suggesting an extraordinary capacity for long‐distance dispersal and colonization. We...Larridon, Isabel ; Galán Díaz, Javier ; Bauters, Kenneth ; Escudero, Marcial
