Genetic markers in Andean Puya species (Bromeliaceae) with implications on plastome evolution and phylogeny. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2022
Comparative analyses revealed plastome features, genomic evolution, divergence time, and phylogenetic relationships of the genus Puya. Plastomes have great potential for phylogenetic recontraction and species discrimination of Puya. Abstract The Andean plant endemic Puya is a striking example of recent and rapid diversification from central Chile to ...

Taxon-specific or universal? Using target capture to study the evolutionary history of rapid radiations. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour, 2022
Abstract Target capture has emerged as an important tool for phylogenetics and population genetics in nonmodel taxa. Whereas developing taxon‐specific capture probes requires sustained efforts, available universal kits may have a lower power to reconstruct relationships at shallow phylogenetic scales and within rapidly radiating clades. We present here

Global analysis of Poales diversification - parallel evolution in space and time into open and closed habitats. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Poales are one of the most species‐rich, ecologically and economically important orders of plants and often characterise open habitats, enabled by unique suites of traits. We test six hypotheses regarding the evolution and assembly of Poales in open and closed habitats throughout the world, and examine whether diversification patterns ...

The geographic range size and vulnerability to extinction of angiosperm epiphytes in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 9, Page 1607-1617, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Angiosperm epiphytes have long been reported to have larger geographic ranges than terrestrial species, despite evidence of their outstanding diversity and endemism. This apparent contradiction calls for further investigation of epiphytes' poorly understood range size patterns. Here, we address the question of whether epiphytes have larger

Smoothing out the misconceptions of the role of bark roughness in vascular epiphyte attachment

New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 3, Page 983-994, May 2023., 2023
Summary Vascular epiphytes represent c. 10% of all vascular plant species. In epiphytes, attachment is essential for survival throughout consecutive ontogenetic stages of their life, starting with: (1) initial propagule attachment to the host; followed by (2) the development of first root‐substrate connections; and (3) maintenance of this attachment ...

Incongruent phylogenies and their implications for the study of diversification, taxonomy, and genome size evolution of Rhododendron

American Journal of Botany, Volume 108, Issue 10, Page 1957-1981, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Premise Classification of taxa depends on the quality of inferred phylogenies. Rhododendron, a highly species‐rich genus (>1156 species) of woody plants, has a highly debated infrageneric classification, due to its huge diversity, homoplasy in key characters, and incongruence among data sets.

A 100‐Million‐Year Gap in the Knowledge of the Evolutionary History of Bromeliaceae: A Brief Review of Fossil Records

Feddes Repertorium, Volume 132, Issue 1, Page 20-27, March 2021., 2021
Bromeliaceae arose in the Early Cretaceous, diverging from Typhaceae at ca. 125 Ma. After an apparent evolutionary stasis of 100 million years, they have undergone a high diversification starting in the Miocene. By adding fossils to the phylogenies, one can infer dates of arising and the divergence of lineages and link them to geological and climatic ...

Ecosystem services provided by bromeliad plants: A systematic review. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2019
Bromeliads have been widely used as a model system for testing fundamental ecological theory; nevertheless, their benefits to the surrounding ecosystems and human society have been largely overlooked. Using a systematic review, we showed that while the publication of studies about supporting ecosystem services have accelerated over the last 30 years ...

Leaf epidermis of the rheophyte Dyckia brevifolia Baker (Bromeliaceae). [PDF]

ScientificWorldJournal, 2013
Some species of Dyckia Schult. f., including Dyckia brevifolia Baker, are rheophytes that live in the fast‐moving water currents of streams and rivers which are subject to frequent flooding, but also period of low water. This study aimed to analyze the leaf epidermis of D.

Seeing the forest through many trees: Multi‐taxon patterns of phylogenetic diversity in the Atlantic Forest hotspot

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 26, Issue 9, Page 1160-1176, September 2020., 2020
Abstract Aim We combine phylogenetic and point locality data from selected lineages of the Atlantic Forest flora and fauna to compare spatial patterns of biodiversity sustained by the current configuration of forest remnants to a scenario of complete forest preservation.
