Dissecting the relationship between gene function and substitution rates is key to
understanding genome-wide patterns of molecular evolution. Biochemical pathways provide …

Phylogenetic niche conservatism can be investigated at multiple scales on an explicit
geographical context. Haplotype-based comparative analyses of lineages occupying the …

Despite the overarching history of species divergence, phylogenetic studies often reveal
distinct topologies across regions of the genome. The sources of these gene tree …

Karyotype data within a phylogenetic framework and molecular dating were used to
examine chromosome evolution in Nierembergia and to infer how geological or climatic …

Population genetic structure results from the interaction between historical events, current
ecological conditions and life traits. The genetic structure and gene flow between …

Speciation begins with the isolation of some individuals or subpopulations due to drivers
promoting a diverging genetic distribution. Such isolation may occur, followed by different …

Different genetic patterns have been demonstrated for narrowly distributed taxa, many of
them linking rarity to evolutionary history. Quite a few species in young genera are endemics …

In specialized plant-pollinator associations, partners may exhibit adaptive traits, which favor
the maintenance of the interaction. The association between Calibrachoa elegans …

The Pampa, also known as Río de la Plata grassland region, is arguably one of the most
diverse and largest grassland areas in the world, yet timing, origin, and assembling of its …

 Abstract Calibrachoa Cerv., Fabiana Ruiz & Pav., and Petunia Juss. form a clade within
tribe Petunieae (Solanaceae). Phylogenetic studies of Petunieae, either as part of a family …
