A phylogenomic analysis of Nepenthes (Nepenthaceae)
Nepenthaceae is one of the largest carnivorous plant families and features ecological and morphological adaptations indicating an impressive adaptive radiation. However, investigation of evolutionary and taxonomic questions is hindered by poor phylogenetic understanding, with previous molecular studies based on limited loci and taxa. We use high-throughput sequencing with a target-capture...Murphy, Bruce ; Forest, Félix ; Barraclough, Timothy ; Rosindell, James ; Bellot, Sidonie …

Resolving relationships in an exceedingly young Neotropical orchid lineage using Genotyping-by-sequencing data
Poor morphological and molecular differentiation in recently diversified lineages is a widespread phenomenon in plants. Phylogenetic relationships within such species complexes are often difficult to resolve because of the low variability in traditional molecular loci. Furthermore, biological phenomena responsible for topological incongruence such as Incomplete Lineage Sorting (ILS) and hybridisation...Alejandro Pérez-Escobar, Oscar ; Bogarín, Diego ; Schley, Rowan ; Bateman, Richard M. ; Gerlach, Günter …

Calyx (con)fusion in a hyper-diverse genus: Parallel evolution of unusual flower patterns in Eugenia (Myrtaceae)
Eugenia has a pantropical distribution and comprises ca. 1000 species found mostly in the Neotropics. Recent DNA based phylogenies show that unusual flower morphology of ‘eugenioid’ collections, e.g. fused calices that open by tearing, consistently emerged within Eugenia. These results emphasize a demand to revaluate flower morphology in a phylogenetic...Giaretta, Augusto ; Vasconcelos, Thais ; Mazine, Fiorella Fernanda ; Faria, Jair Eustáquio Quintino ; Flores, Rodolfo …
