INDEPENDENT ORIGINATION OF FLORAL ZYGOMORPHY, A PREDICTED ADAPTIVE RESPONSE TO POLLINATORS: DEVELOPMENTAL AND GENETIC MECHANISMS [PDF]
, 2016 Observations of floral development indicate that floral organ initiation in pentapetalous flowers more commonly results in a medially positioned abaxial petal (MAB) than in a medially positioned adaxial petal (MAD), where the medial plane is defined by ...

Expelled by the Antarctic ice: Evolutionary history of the tribe Cunonieae (Cunoniaceae)
Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1441-1457, November 2025.Fossil calibration reveals recent radiations and biogeographical history of the Cunonieae tribe. The most densely sampled phylogeny indicated Antarctica and Patagonia as areas of origin, confirming the reestablishment of Pterophylla and revealing the northward movement of Weinmannia into the tropical Andes.

Plastid phylogenomic analysis of green plants: A billion years of evolutionary history
American Journal of Botany, Volume 105, Issue 3, Page 291-301, March 2018., 2018 Premise of the Study For the past one billion years, green plants (Viridiplantae) have dominated global ecosystems, yet many key branches in their evolutionary history remain poorly resolved. Using the largest analysis of Viridiplantae based on plastid genome sequences to date, we examined the phylogeny and implications for morphological evolution at ...

Challenges of comprehensive taxon sampling in comparative biology: Wrestling with rosids
American Journal of Botany, Volume 105, Issue 3, Page 433-445, March 2018., 2018 Abstract Using phylogenetic approaches to test hypotheses on a large scale, in terms of both species sampling and associated species traits and occurrence data—and doing this with rigor despite all the attendant challenges—is critical for addressing many broad questions in evolution and ecology.

Phylogenetic Niche Conservatism Drives Floristic Assembly Across Mexico's Temperate‐Tropical Divide
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 4, April 2025.ABSTRACT Aim We addressed the role of climate and historical biogeography on the temperate‐tropical divide in Mexico, also known as the “Mexican Transition Zone” (MTZ). We asked: (1) How phylogenetic structure and species composition vary across the MTZ, (2) What roles dispersal, in situ speciation and climatic filtering play in assembling regional ...
