It has long been recognized that hybridization and polyploidy are prominent processes in
plant evolution. Although classically recognized as significant in speciation and adaptation …

The study of reproductive isolation and species barriers frequently focuses on mitochondrial
genomes and has produced two alternative and almost diametrically opposed narratives. On …

The plastid genome of plants is the smallest and most gene‐rich of the three genomes in
each cell and the one generally present in the highest copy number. As a result, obtaining …

The genomes of cytoplasmic organelles (mitochondria and plastids) are maternally inherited
in most eukaryotes, thus excluding organellar genomes from the benefits of sexual …

Most heritable information in eukaryotic cells is encoded in the nuclear genome, with
inheritance patterns following classic Mendelian segregation. Genomes residing in the …

Phylogenomic data from a rapidly increasing number of studies provide new evidence for
resolving relationships in recently radiated clades, but they also pose new challenges for …

Metazoans exist only with a continuous and rich supply of chemical energy from oxidative
phosphorylation in mitochondria. The oxidative phosphorylation machinery that mediates …

Cytonuclear discordance is commonly observed in phylogenetic studies, yet few studies
have tested whether these patterns reflect incomplete lineage sorting or organellar …

Empirical phylogeographic studies have progressively sampled greater numbers of loci over
time, in part motivated by theoretical papers showing that estimates of key demographic …

Mitochondria, a nearly ubiquitous feature of eukaryotes, are derived from an ancient
symbiosis. Despite billions of years of cooperative coevolution—in what is arguably the most …
