Hybridization has long been recognized as a fundamental evolutionary process in plants
but, until recently, our understanding of its phylogenetic distribution and biological …

Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is characteristic of almost all fundamental lineages of
land plants. Unfortunately, the timings of WGD events are loosely constrained and …

Premise of the Study Large phylogenies can help shed light on macroevolutionary patterns
that inform our understanding of fundamental processes that shape the tree of life. These …

Premise of the Study Polyploidy or whole‐genome duplication (WGD) pervades the
evolutionary history of angiosperms. Despite extensive progress in our understanding of …

Inferring the intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of species diversification and phenotypic disparity
across the tree of life is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. In green plants, polyploidy …

Genomics is narrowing uncertainty in the phylogenetic structure for many amniote groups.
For one of the most diverse and species-rich groups, the squamate reptiles (lizards, snakes …

Premise of the Study For the past one billion years, green plants (Viridiplantae) have
dominated global ecosystems, yet many key branches in their evolutionary history remain …

Adaptation to cool climates has occurred several times in different angiosperm groups.
Among them, Pooideae, the largest grass subfamily with∼ 3,900 species including wheat …

The Caryophyllales includes 40 families and 12,500 species, representing a large and
diverse clade of angiosperms. Collectively, members of the clade grow on all continents and …

The consequences of the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary (KPB) mass extinction
for the evolution of plant diversity remain poorly understood, even though evolutionary …
