Precipitation is the main axis of tropical plant phylogenetic turnover across space and time.
Early natural historians—Comte de Buffon, von Humboldt, and De Candolle—established environment and geography as two principal axes determining the distribution of groups of organisms, laying the foundations for biogeography over the subsequent 200 years, yet the relative importance of these two axes remains unresolved. Leveraging phylogenomic and global species distribution... -

The origin of modern patterns of continental diversity in Mauritiinae palms: the Neotropical museum and the Afrotropical graveyard.
While the latitudinal diversity gradient has received much attention, biodiversity and species richness also vary between continents across similar latitudes. Fossil information can be used to understand the evolutionary mechanisms that generated such variation between continents of similar latitudes. We integrated fossil data into a phylogenetic analysis of the Mauritiinae... -

Barking up the wrong tree: the dangers of taxonomic misidentification in molecular phylogenetic studies.
– is a Brazilian endemic genus that has sat uncomfortably in Convolvulaceae where it was placed due to an enlarged and adnate fruit bract typical of . A recent molecular phylogeny suggested that two of its five morphologically almost identical species actually belong to two different families, Malpighiaceae (superrosids) and... -

Herbarium specimen sequencing allows precise dating of Xanthomonas citri pv. citri diversification history.
Herbarium collections are an important source of dated, identified and preserved DNA, whose use in comparative genomics and phylogeography can shed light on the emergence and evolutionary history of plant pathogens. Here, we reconstruct 13 historical genomes of the bacterial crop pathogen pv. ( ) from infected herbarium specimens. Following... -

Phylogenetic Analysis and Taxonomic Delimitation of the “Hairy-Fig” Complex of Ficus sect. Eriosycea (Moraceae) in China.
The hairy-fig complex of Ficus sect. Eriosycea (Moraceae) includes F. hirta, F. esquiroliana, F. simplicissima and a Chinese entity misidentified as F. fulva. These species are difficult to delimit because of the continuously varying morphological characteristics. In order to re-evaluate the status of these taxa, herbarium specimens were extensively examined...Lu, Jing ; Gui, Ping ; Lu, Zhong-Ling ; Zhang, Li-Fang ; Tian, Huai-Zhen …

Toward a Phylogenetic-based Generic Classification of Neotropical Lecythidaceae—II. Status of Allantoma, Cariniana, Couratari, Couroupita, Grias and Gustavia.
The morphological features of all clades of neotropical Lecythidaceae subfam. Lecythidoideae (Brazil nut family) with actinomorphic androecia (Allantoma, Grias, Gustavia) as well as three clades with zygomorphic androecia (Cariniana, Couroupita, and Couratari) are described. These clades are those that were recovered by a phylogeny based on molecular data, and all,... -

Suillus marginielevatus, a new species and S. triacicularis, a new record from Western Himalaya, Pakistan.
Suillus marginielevatus sp. nov. and S. triacicularis are reported from Himalayan moist temperate forests of Pakistan in association with conifers. Morphologically S. marginielevatus is close to S. sibiricus, S. granulatus and S. intermedius but it can be distinguished by uplifted pileus margin and curved stipe with no ring at all...Sarwar, Samina ; Saba, Malka ; Khalid, Abdul N. ; Dentinger, Bryn T.
