W(h)ither Fossils? Studying Morphological Character Evolution in the Age of Molecular Sequences [PDF]

, 2008
A major challenge in the post-genomics era will be to integrate molecular sequence data from extant organisms with morphological data from fossil and extant taxa into a single, coherent picture of phylogenetic relationships; only then will these ...

Phylogenetic congruence between subtropical trees and their associated fungi. [PDF]

, 2016
Recent studies have detected phylogenetic signals in pathogen-host networks for both soil-borne and leaf-infecting fungi, suggesting that pathogenic fungi may track or coevolve with their preferred hosts.

Chloroplast genomes of two extant species of Tertiary relict Cercidiphyllum (Cercidiphyllaceae): comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Cercidiphyllum, the only member of Cercidiphyllaceae, contains two extant species: Cercidiphyllum japonicum and Cercidiphyllum magnificum. Here, we reported their complete chloroplast genomes by de novo assembly.

Taxonomic decomposition of the latitudinal gradient in species diversity of North American floras [PDF]

, 2017
Aim: To test the latitudinal gradient in plant species diversity for self-similarity across taxonomic scales and amongst taxa. Location: North America. Methods: We used species richness data from 245 local vascular plant floras to quantify the slope and ...

Leaf Phenolics of Gunnera Manicata (Gunneraceae) [PDF]

, 1988
Foliar material of Gunnera manicata (Gunneraceae) was examined for the presence of phenolics using standard extraction and identification techniques. Two lIavonoids, quercetin 3-0-ga1actoside and quercetin 3-0-g1ucoside and an unidentified ellagitannin ...

Consistent role of Quaternary climate change in shaping current plant functional diversity patterns across European plant orders [PDF]

, 2017
Current and historical environmental conditions are known to determine jointly contemporary species distributions and richness patterns. However, whether historical dynamics in species distributions and richness translate to functional diversity patterns

Plastid phylogenomic insights into relationships of all flowering plant families

BMC Biology, 2021
Background Flowering plants (angiosperms) are dominant components of global terrestrial ecosystems, but phylogenetic relationships at the familial level and above remain only partially resolved, greatly impeding our full understanding of their evolution ...
