Ancient hybridization and phylogenetic discordance: Exploring evolutionary complexity in Asteraceae. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci
Abstract Premise Conflicting phylogenetic signals are common in plant phylogenomics and often reflect evolutionary histories shaped by processes like hybridization, incomplete lineage sorting, and whole‐genome duplication (WGD). We aimed to identify and assess these complex processes in the hyper‐diverse family Asteraceae to offer insight into the ...

Adapting Species Risk Assessments to a Changing Climate: The Underestimated Vulnerability of Foundational Trees. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Climate change is one of the top threats to biodiversity. However, many species risk assessment frameworks, including the globally authoritative International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, do not consistently and comprehensively incorporate loss of climatically suitable habitat into listing or threat categorization decisions.

Evaluating models of expert judgment to inform assessment of ecosystem viability and collapse. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Expert judgment underpins assessment of threatened ecosystems. However, experts are often narrowly defined, and variability in their judgments may be substantial. Models built from structured elicitation with large diverse expert panels can contribute to more consistent and transparent decision‐making.
