The diverse diaspora of CAM: a pole-to-pole sketch. [PDF]
Background: CAM photosynthesis is a successful adaptation that has evolved often in angiosperms, gymnosperms, ferns and lycophytes. Present in ca. 5 % of vascular plants, the CAM diaspora includes all continents barring Antarctica.

New plastome structural rearrangements discovered in core Tillandsioideae (Bromeliaceae) support recently adopted taxonomy. [PDF]
Full plastome sequences for land plants have become readily accessible thanks to the development of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques and powerful bioinformatic tools. Despite this vast amount of genomic data, some lineages remain understudied.

Bromeliaceae subfamilies show divergent trends of genome size evolution. [PDF]
Genome size is known to vary widely across plants. Yet, the evolutionary drivers and consequences of genome size variation across organisms are far from understood.

Geography, environment and organismal traits in the diversification of a major tropical herbaceous angiosperm radiation. [PDF]
The generation of plant diversity involves complex interactions between geography, environment, and organismal traits. Many macroevolutionary processes and emergent patterns have been identified in different plant groups through the study of spatial data,

Systematics of Bromelioideae (Bromeliaceae)—Evidence from Molecular and Anatomical Studies [PDF]
A reconstruction of the phylogeny of Bromeliaceae based on sequence data from three noncoding chloroplast DNA markers (trnL intron, trnT–trnL, and trnT–trnF intergenic spacer [IGS]) is presented, including 26 genera and 33 species.

Disentangling the effects of key innovations on the diversification of Bromelioideae (bromeliaceae). [PDF]
The evolution of key innovations, novel traits that promote diversification, is often seen as major driver for the unequal distribution of species richness within the tree of life.

Phylogeny, Adaptive Radiation, and Historical Biogeography of Bromeliaceae Inferred from ndhF Sequence Data [PDF]
Cladistic analysis of ndhF sequences identifies eight major bromeliad clades arranged in ladderlike fashion. The traditional subfamilies Tillandsioideae and Bromelioideae are monophyletic, but Pitcairnioideae are paraphyletic, requiring the description of
