The advances accelerated by next‐generation sequencing and long‐read sequencing
technologies continue to provide an impetus for plant phylogenetic study. In the past …

The past decade has seen a major breakthrough in our ability to easily and inexpensively
sequence genome‐scale data from diverse lineages. The development of high‐throughput …

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 …

The tropics are the source of most biodiversity yet inadequate sampling obscures answers to
fundamental questions about how this diversity evolves. We leveraged samples assembled …

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 …

Northern Hemisphere forests changed drastically in the early Eocene with the diversification
of the oak family (Fagaceae). Cooling climates over the next 20 million years fostered the …

We implement two measures for quantifying genealogical concordance in phylogenomic
data sets: the gene concordance factor (gCF) and the novel site concordance factor (sCF) …

Polyploidy (genome duplication) is a pivotal force in evolution. However, the interactions
between parental genomes in a polyploid nucleus, frequently involving subgenome …

The transition from 'well-marked varieties' of a single species into 'well-defined species'—
especially in the absence of geographic barriers to gene flow (sympatric speciation)—has …

The tree of life is highly reticulate, with the history of population divergence emerging from
populations of gene phylogenies that reflect histories of introgression, lineage sorting and …
