Trait‐based species richness: ecology and macroevolution
JJ Wiens - Biological Reviews, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding the origins of species richness patterns is a fundamental goal in ecology and
evolutionary biology. Much research has focused on explaining two kinds of species …

Nuclear phylogenomics of angiosperms and insights into their relationships and evolution
Angiosperms (flowering plants) are by far the most diverse land plant group with over
300,000 species. The sudden appearance of diverse angiosperms in the fossil record was …

Genome-wide macroevolutionary signatures of key innovations in butterflies colonizing new host plants
The mega-diversity of herbivorous insects is attributed to their co-evolutionary associations
with plants. Despite abundant studies on insect-plant interactions, we do not know whether …

Climbing mechanisms and the diversification of neotropical climbing plants across time and space
Climbers germinate on the ground but need external support to sustain their stems, which
are maintained attached to supports through modified organs, that is, climbing mechanisms …

Neogene history of the Amazonian flora: a perspective based on geological, palynological, and molecular phylogenetic data
The Amazon hosts one of the largest and richest rainforests in the world, but its origins
remain debated. Growing evidence suggests that geodiversity and geological history played …

'Out of Africa' origin of the pantropical staghorn fern genus Platycerium (Polypodiaceae) supported by plastid phylogenomics and biogeographical analysis
Abstract Background and Aims The staghorn fern genus Platycerium is one of the most
commonly grown ornamental ferns, and it evolved to occupy a typical pantropical …

The genetic mechanisms underlying the convergent evolution of pollination syndromes in the Neotropical radiation of Costus L.
Selection together with variation in floral traits can act to mold floral form, often driven by a
plant's predominant or most effective pollinators. To investigate the evolution of traits …

Linking the evolution of development of stem vascular system in Nyctaginaceae and its correlation to habit and species diversification
Background Alternative patterns of secondary growth in stems of Nyctaginaceae is present
in all growth habits of the family and have been known for a long time. However, the …
