Contributions from paleobotany, phylogenetics, genomics, developmental biology, and
developmental genetics have yielded tremendous insight into Darwin's “abominable …

Abstract The Balkan Peninsula is widely acknowledged as one of the centers of European
biodiversity and a major glacial refugium for plant species. Its extensive geographic …

• Premise of the study: It has been 8 years since the last comprehensive analysis of
divergence times across the angiosperms. Given recent methodological improvements in …

Polyploidy, the doubling of genomic content, is a widespread feature, especially among
plants, yet its macroevolutionary impacts are contentious. Traditionally, polyploidy has been …

Background There are conflicting views between palaeobotanists and plant systematists/
evolutionary biologists regarding the occurrence of plant speciation in the Quaternary …

How Quaternary climatic oscillations affected range distributions and intraspecific
divergence of alpine plants on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP) remains largely unknown …

Background Biology has increasingly recognized the necessity to build and utilize larger
phylogenies to address broad evolutionary questions. Large phylogenies have facilitated …

Background Speciose clades usually harbor species with a broad spectrum of adaptive
strategies and complex distribution patterns, and thus constitute ideal systems to …

The Campanula pyramidalis complex is a group of closely related taxa with a distribution
across the Balkans, from the Gulf of Trieste in the north to the Peloponnese Peninsula in the …

The circumscription and infrageneric classification of Campanula is highly controversial.
Independent and combined data from nuclear and chloroplast sequences (trnL–trnF, ITS) …
