Biogeography of Coptis Salisb. (Ranunculales, Ranunculaceae, Coptidoideae), an Eastern Asian and North American genus [PDF]
Background Numerous studies have favored dispersal (colonization) over vicariance (past fragmentation) events to explain eastern Asian-North American distribution patterns. In plants, however the disjunction between eastern Asia and western North America

Assembling genomes of non-model plants: A case study with evolutionary insights from Ranunculus (Ranunculaceae). [PDF]
SUMMARY Whereas genome sequencing and assembly technologies are improving, cost can still be prohibitive for plant species with large, complex genomes. As a consequence, genomics work on some taxa in evolutionarily pivotal positions in the vascular plant tree of life has been hampered.
