Many groups of closely related species have reticulate phylogenies. Recent genomic
analyses are showing this in many insects and vertebrates, as well as in microbes and …

Tea is among the world's most widely consumed non-alcoholic beverages and possesses
enormous economic, health, and cultural values. It is produced from the cured leaves of tea …

Green plants (Viridiplantae) include around 450,000–500,000 species, of great diversity and
have important roles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Here, as part of the One …

Motivation Phylogenies are important for fundamental biological research, but also have
numerous applications in biotechnology, agriculture and medicine. Finding the optimal tree …

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 …

Sequencing of target-enriched libraries is an efficient and cost-effective method for obtaining
DNA sequence data from hundreds of nuclear loci for phylogeny reconstruction. Much of the …

Fruits are the defining feature of angiosperms, likely have contributed to angiosperm
successes by protecting and dispersing seeds, and provide foods to humans and other …

Speciation events often occur in rapid bursts of diversification, but the ecological and genetic
factors that promote these radiations are still much debated. Using whole transcriptomes …

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

Brassicaceae is one of the most diverse and economically valuable angiosperm families
with widely cultivated vegetable crops and scientifically important model plants, such as …
