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 ...
