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

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.

Taxonomic novelties of Ronnbergia (Bromeliaceae: Bromelioideae) from Colombia [PDF]
Brittonia, 2021 Three new species of Ronnbergia (Bromeliaceae: Bromelioideae) and two new records of the same genus for Colombia are described. The three new species correspond to (1) Ronnbergia igneosepala from the slopes of the Western Cordillera in Narino (Colombia), which is unique by its orange floral bracts and sepals; (2) R. robusta from the Pacific Littoral of

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 ...

Revision of the genusOchagavia (Bromeliaceae, Bromelioideae) [PDF]
Willdenowia, 2002 Abstract Zizka, G., Trumpier, K. & Zollner, O.: Revision of the genus Ochagavia (Bromeliaceae, Bromelioideae). — Willdenowia 32: 331–350. 2002. — ISSN 0511-9618. The genus Ochagavia is revised. Four species, O. andina, O. carnea, O. elegans and O. litoralis, are recognized, all are endemic to Chile.

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

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.

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 ...
