Phylogenomic inference of the African tribe Monodoreae (Annonaceae) and taxonomic revision of Dennettia, Uvariodendron and Uvariopsis.
Monodoreae (Annonaceae) is a tribe composed of 11 genera and 90 species restricted to the tropical African rain forests. All the genera are taxonomically well circumscribed except the species rich genera and which lack a recent taxonomic revision. Here, we used a robust phylogenomic approach, including all the 90 currently... -

Morphological Continua Make Poor Species: Genus-Wide Morphometric Survey of the European Bee Orchids (Ophrys L.).
Despite (or perhaps because of) intensive multidisciplinary research, opinions on the optimal number of species recognised within the Eurasian orchid genus Ophrys range from nine to at least 400. The lower figure of nine macrospecies is based primarily on seeking small but reliable discontinuities in DNA ‘barcode’ regions, an approach... -

A large-scale species level dated angiosperm phylogeny for evolutionary and ecological analyses.
Phylogenies are a central and indispensable tool for evolutionary and ecological research. Even though most angiosperm families are well investigated from a phylogenetic point of view, there are far less possibilities to carry out large-scale meta-analyses at order level or higher. Here, we reconstructed a large-scale dated phylogeny including nearly...Janssens, Steven ; Couvreur, Thomas L.P. ; Mertens, Arne ; Dauby, Gilles ; Dagallier, Leo-Paul …

Insights into the evolution of the chloroplast genome and the phylogeny of Begonia.
Begonia (Begoniaceae) is one of the largest angiosperm genera, comprising more than 2000 species; this makes it ideal as a model to investigate the genomic basis of species radiations. Here we present the results of the first genus-wide comparative study of plastid genome structure, sequence diversity, and phylogenetics of Begoniaceae,... -

The rise of grasslands is linked to atmospheric CO2 decline in the late Palaeogene.
Grasslands are predicted to experience a major biodiversity change by the year 2100. A better understanding of how grasslands have responded to past environmental changes will help predict the outcome of current and future environmental changes. Here, we explore the relationship between past atmospheric CO and temperature fluctuations and the...Palazzesi, Luis ; Hidalgo, Oriane ; Barreda, Viviana D. ; Forest, Félix ; Höhna, Sebastian
