Despite their extent and socio‐ecological importance, a comprehensive biogeographical
synthesis of drylands is lacking. Here we synthesize the biogeography of key organisms …

Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative
to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern …

The geological record encodes the relationship between climate and atmospheric carbon
dioxide (CO2) over long and short timescales, as well as potential drivers of evolutionary …

During the late Miocene epoch, about seven million years ago, large areas of the continents
experienced drying, enhanced seasonality, and a restructuring of terrestrial plant and animal …

The ratio of plant carbon gain to water use, known as water use efficiency (WUE), has long
been recognized as a key constraint on crop production and an important target for crop …

This review explores the evolution of extant South American tropical biomes, focusing on
when and why they developed. Tropical vegetation experienced a radical transformation …

The process of adaptive radiation—the proliferation of species from a single ancestor and
diversification into many ecologically different forms—has been of great interest to …

Abstract The Caatinga Domain (CD) in northeastern Brazil harbors the largest and most
continuous expanse of the seasonally dry tropical forest and woodland biome (SDTFW) in …

Wild relatives of crops are an important source of genetic diversity for agriculture, but their
gene repertoire remains largely unexplored. We report the establishment and analysis of a …

Background The use of transcriptomic and genomic datasets for phylogenetic reconstruction
has become increasingly common as researchers attempt to resolve recalcitrant nodes with …
