This data paper presents a largely phylogeny-based online taxonomic backbone for the
Cactaceae compiled from literature and online sources using the tools of the EDIT Platform …

Here, we present a review of the studies of evolutionary genetics (phylogenetics, population
genetics, and phylogeography) using genetic data as well as genome scale assemblies in …

Delimiting species boundaries is a major goal in evolutionary biology. An increasing volume
of literature has focused on the challenges of investigating cryptic diversity within complex …

Hybridization and introgression between species in contact/hybrid zones provide important
insight into the genetic and ecological mechanisms of speciation. Cactaceae represents the …

Geographic isolation and reduced population sizes can lead to local extinction, low efficacy
of selection and decreased speciation. However, population differentiation is an essential …

Cerrado is a large and heterogeneous ecoregion in the Neotropics marked by the fire‐prone
savanna vegetation, to which succulent lineages are usually not associated due to this …

Uebelmannia is a cactus genus represented by three microendemic species with patchy
distributions in campo rupestre landscapes in the Espinhaço Range in eastern Brazil. It is …

Background Hybridisation is one of the processes that influence the evolutionary history of
plants, including shifts in their distribution. It occurs unevenly across families, and the …

The Cactaceae family is native to the American continent with several centers of diversity. In
South America, one of these centers is the Central Andes and many species are considered …

Analyzing the genetic diversity by using the Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD
PCR) technique to identify seven genotypes selected of cacti were Ariocarpus …
