Phylogenetic relationships and divergent evolution in Pueraria sensu stricto (Fabaceae) based on plastid genomes and nrITS sequences [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Despite progress in resolving the polyphyly of Pueraria (Fabaceae) based on multilocus phylogenetic studies, uncertainty remains especially for deep, or backbone relationships among closely related taxa or clades within Pueraria sensu stricto,

Reticulate evolution: Detection and utility in the phylogenomics era.
Molecular Phylogenetics and EvolutionPhylogenomics has enriched our understanding that the Tree of Life can have network-like or reticulate structures among some taxa and genes. Two non-vertical modes of evolution - hybridization/introgression and horizontal gene transfer - deviate from a ...

Ortho2Web: a workflow for disentangling the roles of hybridization and allopolyploidization in reticulation within Campanulaceae [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Phylogenetic networks (Web of Life) depict the intricate evolutionary dynamics of organisms more accurately than simple bifurcating trees (Tree of Life), because processes such as hybridization and polyploidy connect lineages through ...

Integrative Population Genomics Reveals Niche Differentiation and Gene Flow in Chinese Sclerophyllous Oaks (Quercus Sect. Ilex) [PDF]
PlantsElucidating the coexistence mechanisms of rapidly diverging species has long been a challenge in evolutionary biology. Genome-wide polymorphic loci are expected to provide insights into the speciation processes of these closely related species.

Phylogenomic Analyses Reveal Species Relationships and Phylogenetic Incongruence with New Member Detected in Allium Subgenus Cyathophora [PDF]
PlantsSpecies characterized by undetermined clade affiliations, limited research coverage, and deficient systematic investigation serve as enigmatic entities in plant and animal taxonomy, yet hold critical significance for exploring phylogenetic relationships ...

Reticulate Evolution in the Appalachian Aspleniums [PDF]
Evolution, 1954 To be able to postulate the course of evolution in a group of organisms on the basis of indirect evidence is one of the goals of phylogenetic research, since in many groups direct evidence is difficult or impossible to obtain. Occasionally a worker may be fortunate enough to confirm his indirect and comparative techniques by direct evidence, such as ...

Reticulate Evolution Everywhere [PDF]
Reticulate EvolutionSymbiogenesis, 2015 Reticulation is a recurring evolutionary pattern found in phylogenetic reconstructions of life. The pattern results from how species interact and evolve by mechanisms and processes including symbiosis; symbiogenesis; lateral gene transfer (that occurs via bacterial conjugation, transformation, transduction, Gene Transfer Agents, or the movements of ...

Information, 2020 Variation, adaptation, heredity and fitness, constraints and affordances, speciation, and extinction form the building blocks of the (Neo-)Darwinian research program, and several of these have been called “Darwinian principles”.

New records of Darevskia armeniaca (Méhely, 1909) and Darevskia valentini (Boettger, 1892) (Squamata, Sauria, Lacertidae) from Armenia and updated geographic distribution maps [PDF]
Check List, 2019 During field survey in 2018, we recorded in Armenia the occurrences of the parthenogenetic lizard Darevskia armeniaca and its “paternal” bisexual species D. valentini.
