Unraveling the Phylogenomic Relationships of the Most Diverse African Palm Genus Raphia (Calamoideae, Arecaceae)
Palms are conspicuous floristic elements across the tropics. In continental Africa, even though there are less than 70 documented species, they are omnipresent across the tropical landscape. The genus Raphia has 20 accepted species in Africa and one species endemic to the Neotropics. It is the most economically important genus...Helmstetter, Andrew J. ; Kamga, Suzanne Mogue ; Bethune, Kevin ; Lautenschläger, Thea ; Zizka, Alexander …

Introgression across evolutionary scales suggests reticulation contributes to Amazonian tree diversity
Hybridisation has the potential to generate or homogenize biodiversity and is a particularly common phenomenon in plants, with an estimated 25% of plant species undergoing inter‐specific gene flow. However, hybridisation in Amazonia’s megadiverse tree flora was assumed to be extremely rare despite extensive sympatry between closely related species, and its... -

A robust phylogenomic framework for the calamoid palms
Well-supported phylogenies are a prerequisite for the study of the evolution and diversity of life on earth. The subfamily Calamoideae accounts for more than one fifth of the palm family (Arecaceae), occurs in tropical rainforests across the world, and supports a billion-dollar industry in rattan products. It contains ca. 550...Kuhnhäuser, Benedikt G. ; Bellot, Sidonie ; Couvreur, Thomas L.P. ; Dransfield, John ; Henderson, Andrew …

The Bean Bag Issue 67
The Bean Bag started in 1974 on the initiative of Charles (Bob) Gunn and Richard Cowan and the first printed issue was distributed 45 years ago in May 1975. The aim of the annual newsletter is to keep legume researchers informed about new publications, events and projects focused on the... -
