Dispersing towards Madagascar: Biogeography and evolution of the Madagascan endemics of the Spermacoceae tribe (Rubiaceae) [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2016
Despite the close proximity of the African mainland, dispersal of plant lineages towards Madagascar remains intriguing. The composition of the Madagascan flora is rather mixed and shows besides African representatives, also floral elements of India, Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Neotropics.

Evolution of woody life form on tropical mountains in the tribe Spermacoceae (Rubiaceae) [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, 2017
PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Spermacoceae are mainly an herbaceous group in the Rubiaceae. However, a few lineages are woody and are found in a diverse range of habitat types. Three of the largest woody lineages (Arcytophyllum, Hedyotis, and Kadua) are characterized by their distribution in the moist tropical mountains and have disjunct distribution patterns ...

The phylogenetic utility of chloroplast and nuclear DNA markers and the phylogeny of the Rubiaceae tribe Spermacoceae

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2008
The phylogenetic utility of chloroplast (atpB-rbcL, petD, rps16, trnL-F) and nuclear (ETS, ITS) DNA regions was investigated for the tribe Spermacoceae of the coffee family (Rubiaceae). ITS was, despite often raised cautions of its utility at higher taxonomic levels, shown to provide the highest number of parsimony informative characters, in ...
