Molecular phylogenetics shed light on polyploid speciation in gorses ( <i>Ulex</i> , Fabaceae: Genisteae) and on the origin of the invasive <i>Ulex europaeus</i>
Hybridization and polyploidy are key evolutionary forces in plant diversification, and their co-occurrence in the context of allopolyploid speciation is often associated with increased ability to colonize new environments and invasiveness. In the genus Ulex (Fabaceae), the European gorse (Ulex europaeus subsp. europaeus) is the only invasive and the only... -

Biogeography, phylogenetic relationships and morphological analyses of the South American genus Mutisia L.f. (Asteraceae) shows early connections of two disjunct biodiversity hotspots
The Andes is recognized as one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, promoting in its uplift process a series of recent rapid diversification events in different biotic groups like birds, mammals, insects and vascular plants. The uplift of the Andes during the Cenozoic acted as a barrier for many...
