▪ Abstract The continuous flow of genomic data is creating unprecedented opportunities for
the reconstruction of molecular phylogenies. Access to whole-genome data means that …

Mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) are small, plant‐sucking insects which comprise
the second largest family of scale insects (Coccoidea). Relationships among many …

• Premise: Bromeliaceae form a large, ecologically diverse family of angiosperms native to
the New World. We use a bromeliad phylogeny based on eight plastid regions to analyze …

The order Passeriformes (“perching birds”) comprises extant species diversity comparable to
that of living mammals. For over a decade, a single phylogenetic hypothesis based on DNA …

The cosmopolitan genus Botrytis contains 22 recognized species and one hybrid. The
current classification is largely based on morphological characters and, to a minor extent, on …

Pseudomonas syringae is a common foliar bacterium responsible for many important plant
diseases. We studied the population structure and dynamics of the core genome of P …

To critically examine the relationship between species recognized by phylogenetic and
reproductive compatibility criteria, we applied phylogenetic species recognition (PSR) to the …

A phylogeny is presented for the western Palaearctic representatives of the weevil subfamily
Cryptorhynchinae using a combination of phenotypic and genotypic characters. This …

• Premise of the study: The opuntias (nopales, prickly pears) are not only culturally,
ecologically, economically, and medicinally important, but are renowned for their taxonomic …

A combination of population genetics and phylogenetic inference methods was used to
delineate Bradyrhizobium species and to uncover the evolutionary forces acting at the …
