The Implications of Interrelated Assumptions on Estimates of Divergence Times and Rates of Diversification.
Phylogenies are increasingly being used as a basis to provide insight into macroevolutionary history. Here, we use simulation experiments and empirical analyses to evaluate methods that use phylogenies as a basis to make estimates of divergence times and rates of diversification. This is the first study to present a comprehensive...Carruthers, Tom ; Scotland, Robert W

Challenges of applying monophyly in the phylogenetic shallows: taxonomic reappraisal of the Dactylorhiza maculata group.
The first study of the taxonomically critical European orchid genus to use next-generation DNA sequencing generated the statistically best-supported reconstruction of its phylogeny to date. However, the two competing topologies obtained within the monophyletic Section differed radically in the placement of the s.s.– clade. Both topologies showed to be nested... -

Heterocyphelium leucampyx ( Arthoniales, Ascomycota): another orphaned mazaediate lichen finds its way home.
is a mazaediate genus containing a single species, . The species was originally described from Cuba within the genus ( , ) and later placed in various genera of the collective order s. lat. For the past three decades, was considered an orphaned genus ( ) within the Ascomycota, since...Van den Broeck, Dries ; Lücking, Robert ; Gaya, Ester ; Chaves, José Luis ; Lejju, Julius B. …

Cryptic Diversity in Colombian Edible Leaf-Cutting Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).
Leaf-cutting ants are often considered agricultural pests, but they can also benefit local people and serve important roles in ecosystems. Throughout their distribution, winged reproductive queens of leaf-cutting ants in the genus Atta Fabricius, 1804 are consumed as a protein-rich food source and sometimes used for medical purposes. Little is... -

Hygrophorus sect. Olivaceoumbrini: new boundaries, extended biogeography and unexpected diversity unravelled by transatlantic studies.
As currently delineated, sect. is a polyphyletic assembly within subg. , encompassing glutinous and pigmented taxa. According to available literature, between a dozen and twenty species may belong in the section, mostly represented in continental and boreal forests of Europe and North America. However, the limited phylogenetic and biogeographic coverage...Bellanger, J.-M. ; Lebeuf, R. ; Sesli, E. ; Loizides, M. ; Schwarz, C. …

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

Molecular approaches reveal speciation between red- and blue-flowered plants in the Mediterranean Lysimachia arvensis and L. monelli (Primulaceae).
Flower colour has played a decisive role as an evolutionary force in many groups of plants by driving speciation. A well-known example of colour polymorphism is found across the Mediterranean populations of Lysimachia arvensis and L. monelli, in which blue- and red-flowered plants can be found. Previous studies recognized two... -

Discovery and Extrolite Production of Three New Species of Talaromyces Belonging to Sections Helici and Purpurei from Freshwater in Korea.
Three novel fungal species, Talaromyces gwangjuensis, T. koreana, and T. teleomorpha were found in Korea during an investigation of fungi in freshwater. The new species are described here using morphological characters, a multi-gene phylogenetic analysis of the ITS, BenA, CaM, RPB2 regions, and extrolite data. Talaromyces gwangjuensis is characterized by restricted growth...Nguyen, Thuong T. T. ; Frisvad, Jens Christian ; Kirk, Paul M. ; Lim, Hyo Jin ; Lee, Hyang Burm
