Evolution on the backbone: Apocynaceae phylogenomics and new perspectives on growth forms, flowers, and fruits

American Journal of Botany, Volume 105, Issue 3, Page 495-513, March 2018., 2018
Premise of the Study We provide the largest phylogenetic analyses to date of Apocynaceae in terms of taxa and molecular data as a framework for analyzing the evolution of vegetative and reproductive traits. Methods We produced maximum‐likelihood phylogenies of Apocynaceae using 21 plastid loci sampled from 1045 species (nearly 25% of the family) and ...

Tropical Refuges with Exceptionally High Phylogenetic Diversity Reveal Contrasting Phylogenetic Structures

International Journal of Biodiversity, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Loss of phylogenetic diversity (PD) has gained increasing attention in conservation biology. However, PD is not equally distributed in a phylogeny and can be better assessed when species relatedness (phylogenetic structure: PS) is also considered. Here, we investigate PD and PS in two refuges of biodiversity in northeastern Brazil: the Bahia Costal ...
