Phylogenomics, ecomorphological evolution, and historical biogeography in Deuterocohnia (Bromeliaceae: Pitcairnioideae). [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Species of Deuterocohnia (17 spp.) show extraordinary variation in elevation (0–3900 m a.s.l.) and growth forms, and many have narrow geographic distributions in the west‐central Andes and the Peru‐Chile coast. Previous research using few plastid and nuclear loci failed to produce well‐resolved or supported phylogenies.

Developing a phylogenetic framework for tiny Ordovician brachiopods (Atrypida: Anazyginae and Catazyginae) from the eastern United States [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 Elucidating how environmental change can facilitate the differentiation of evolutionary lineages and the establishment of new species is a critical issue for understanding both the history of life and modern biota. Notably, speciation events are known to

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Allioideae (e.g., chives, garlics, onions) comprises three mainly temperate tribes: Allieae (800 species from the northern hemisphere), Gilliesieae (80 South American species), and Tulbaghieae (26 Southern African species). We reconstructed the phylogeny

PLoS ONE, 2021 The emergence of the diagonal of open/dry vegetations, including Chaco, Cerrado and Caatinga, is suggested to have acted as a dispersal barrier for terrestrial organisms by fragmenting a single large forest that existed in South America into the present ...

Towards a synthesis of the Caribbean biogeography of terrestrial arthropods
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background The immense geologic and ecological complexity of the Caribbean has created a natural laboratory for interpreting when and how organisms disperse through time and space.

Polyploidy Expands the Range of Centaurium (Gentianaceae)
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The Mediterranean region is one of the most important worldwide hotspots in terms of number of species and endemism, and multiple hypotheses have been proposed to explain how diversification occurred in this area.
