Phylogenomics of African Melastomateae (Melastomataceae): Revisiting generic relationships, placement of three enigmatic taxa and description of two new genera

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary relationships within the Melastomateae, a diverse tribe within the Melastomataceae, are not yet completely resolved, and some putatively paleoendemic taxa that might alter relationships are still unsampled. This study employs a phylogenomic approach, utilizing target capture data, to revisit generic relationships and shed light on

Delimiting species without nuclear monophyly in Madagascar's mouse lemurs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Speciation begins when populations become genetically separated through a substantial reduction in gene flow, and it is at this point that a genetically cohesive set of populations attain the sole property of species: the independent evolution of a ...

Non-monophyly of the "cydnoid" complex within Pentatomoidea (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) revealed by Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of nuclear rDNA sequences

Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny, 2017
The “cydnoid” complex of pentatomoid families, including Cydnidae, Parastrachiidae, Thaumastellidae, and Thyreocoridae, is morphologically defined by the presence of an array of more or less flattened stout setae (called coxal combs), situated on the ...

Taxonomy and dated molecular phylogeny of Allium oreophilum sensu lato (A. subg. Porphyroprason) uncover a surprising number of cryptic taxa

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Allium oreophilum, hitherto the representative of the monotypic A. subg. Porphyroprason from the second evolutionary lineage of Allium, is studied in detail. Over about 150 years, A. oreophilum was regarded as a somewhat polymorphous species with two synonyms, all described in the 19th century.

Testing the monophyly of Heterosperma (Asteraceae, Coreopsideae)

Phytotaxa, 2018
The genus Heterosperma (Asteraceae, Coreopsideae) currently comprises ten species distributed from Mexico to South America. Molecular phylogenies of the tribe Coreopsideae (including only two species of Heterosperma) pointed out that the genus would not be monophyletic.

Resolving taxa in a challenging orchid species complex using evidence from phylogenetics, morphometrics and floral scent chemistry

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Species can be difficult to circumscribe using morphology alone, and additional data can thus be useful for resolving challenging species complexes. Here we provide a case study of a South African orchid species complex which we resolved by analysing morphology, floral scent chemistry and molecular data.

Phylogenomic evidence reveals non‐monophyly of Paepalanthoideae (Eriocaulaceae) and challenges the broad concept of Paepalanthus

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Eriocaulaceae is a pantropical family of approximately 1200 species across 18 genera, with its highest diversity in the Neotropical region. Traditionally, the family has been divided into two subfamilies, Eriocauloideae and Paepalanthoideae, based on floral traits. Here, we use target‐capture sequencing of nuclear markers to test the monophyly

Population structure of the endangered Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans revealed by genomic and mitochondrial data

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans is an arboreal rodent with a distribution range that covers large parts of the Eurasian taiga forest zone. However, extensive forestry has resulted in widespread local population declines and extinctions in recent decades.

Demographic history of the Malayan tapirs (Tapirus indicus) in Southeast Asia

Ecological Research, EarlyView.
Malayan tapirs in Southeast Asia can be distinguished into 3 geographical groups, based on genetic structure analysis in 11 whole genomes. The effective population size (Ne) of tapirs shows a general decreasing trend, as suggested by the pairwise sequentially Markovian coalescent analysis, with population expansion or structuring during late Early ...
