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. …

A new classification of Carex (Cyperaceae) subgenera supported by a HybSeq backbone phylogenetic tree
The field of systematics is experiencing a new molecular revolution driven by the increased availability of high-throughput sequencing technologies. As these techniques become more affordable, the increased genomic resources have increasingly far-reaching implications for our understanding of the Tree of Life. With c. 2000 species, Carex (Cyperaceae) is one of...Villaverde, Tamara ; Jiménez-Mejías, Pedro ; Luceño, Modesto ; Waterway, Marcia J ; Kim, Sangtae …
