Phylogenetic studies of Carex L.(Cyperaceae) have consistently demonstrated that most
subgenera and sections are para‐or polyphyletic. Yet, taxonomists continue to use …

The megadiverse genus Carex (c. 2000 species, Cyperaceae) has a nearly cosmopolitan
distribution, displaying an inverted latitudinal richness gradient with higher species diversity …

Bipolar disjunct distributions are a fascinating biogeographic pattern exhibited by about 30
vascular plants, whose populations reach very high latitudes in the northern and southern …

Carex (Cyperaceae), with an estimated 2000 species, nearly cosmopolitan distribution and
broad range of habitats, is one of the largest angiosperm genera and the largest in the …

We present the first large-scale phylogenetic hypothesis for the genus Carex based on 996
of the 1983 accepted species (50.23%). We used a supermatrix approach using three DNA …

This is the second study of a series of thorough studies into the taxonomy and systematics of
Carex in South America. Here, we present the systematic placement, taxonomic account …

Despite the existence of a rich record, fossils of Carex have been largely neglected by
neobotanists. Here we present an exhaustive critically commented checklist of the so-far …

Species delimitation in Carex section Rhynchocystis has remained relatively constant
through its taxonomic history. The section is currently composed of five species distributed in …

Abstract Aim To evaluate how Cenozoic climate changes shaped the evolution and
distribution of Carex section Rhynchocystis. Location Western Palaearctic and Afrotropical …

Plants growing in high-mountain environments may share common morphological features
through convergent evolution resulting from an adaptative response to similar ecological …
