A new classification of Carex (Cyperaceae) subgenera supported by a HybSeq backbone phylogenetic tree
The field of systematics is experiencing a new molecular revolution driven by the increased availability of high-throughput sequencing technologies. As these techniques become more affordable, the increased genomic resources have increasingly far-reaching implications for our understanding of the Tree of Life. With c. 2000 species, Carex (Cyperaceae) is one of...Villaverde, Tamara ; Jiménez-Mejías, Pedro ; Luceño, Modesto ; Waterway, Marcia J ; Kim, Sangtae …

Molecular phylogenetic insights into the evolution of Eriosema (Fabaceae): a recent tropical savanna-adapted genus
Eriosema comprises c. 150 species and has a pantropical distribution and two centres of diversity, Africa and America. The species occur in tropical savannas and grasslands, including the cerrado in Brazil. They have adapted to these environments by developing specialized underground organs, and an abundance of trichomes. Here we present... -

Genera Palmarum - The Evolution and Classification of the Palms
Since the publication of the first edition of Genera Palmarum in 1987, there has been an explosion of interest in this quintessentially tropical flowering plant family. Palms tend to attract attention, perhaps because of their recognisable rather simple growth form, their ecological and economic importance, or indeed simply because of...
