Biogeography of Coptis Salisb. (Ranunculales, Ranunculaceae, Coptidoideae), an Eastern Asian and North American genus [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 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

Insights into the ancestral flowers of Ranunculales [PDF]
Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2020 AbstractThe question of the origin of petals has long been debated in the botanical literature. Ranunculales are characterized by a spectacular floral diversity, particularly at the perianth level. Recent progress in understanding the genetic bases of floral organ identity suggests a single origin for petals in Ranunculaceae, contrasting with the ...

Heterodichogamy in Kingdonia (Circaeasteraceae, Ranunculales) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2012 Preliminary field observations in 2001 and 2002 suggested that Kingdonia uniflora (Circaeasteraceae, Ranunculales) exhibits heterodichogamy, an unusual kind of reproductive heteromorphy, hitherto unreported in Ranunculales and known from only one other genus in basal eudicots.During several subsequent years flowers were observed in the field.
