Polyploidy has been hypothesized to be both an evolutionary dead-end and a source for
evolutionary innovation and species diversification. Although polyploid organisms …

Abstract With c. 24 700 species (10% of all flowering plants), Asteraceae are one of the
largest and most phenotypically diverse angiosperm families, with considerable economic …

Climate change is rapidly altering natural habitats and generating complex patterns of
environmental stress. Ferns are major components of many forest understories and, given …

Aim Trade‐offs among tolerances to different abiotic stressors limit polytolerance in woody
plants. However, the general trait syndromes that underlie large‐scale tolerance patterns of …

The macroevolutionary processes that have shaped biodiversity across the temperate realm
remain poorly understood and may have resulted from evolutionary dynamics related to …

Abstract Premise The Caryophyllaceae (the carnation family) have undergone multiple
transitions into colder climates and convergence on cushion plant adaptation, indicating that …

Abstract Premise Astragalus (Fabaceae), with more than 3000 species, represents a
globally successful radiation of morphologically highly similar species predominant across …

While flowering plants have diversified in virtually every terrestrial clime, climate constrains
the distribution of individual lineages. Overcoming climatic constraints may be associated …

Phylogenomics enhances our understanding of plant radiations in the biodiverse Andes.
Our study focuses on Puya, primarily Andean and a part of the Bromeliaceae family. Using a …

Understanding the processes that enable organisms to shift into more arid environments as
they emerge is critical for gauging resilience to climate change, yet these forces remain …
