Abstract Aim The origin of Neotropical hyperdiversity is one of the most intriguing questions
in modern biogeography and is best answered through the investigation of large …

Plant specimens stored in herbaria are being used as never before to document the impacts
of global change on humans and nature. However, published statistics on the use of …

Phylogeography of California examines the evolution of a variety of taxaÑancient and
recent, native and migratoryÑto elucidate evolutionary events both major and minor that …

The loss of biodiversity is now recognized as a global problem of significant magnitude
[Science 289: 2279]. Conservation efforts focus on measuring species diversity and …

Aim The purpose of this study was to examine the biogeographical relationships of the tree
flora of the Yucatan Peninsula (YP2). To this aim we:(1) evaluated the affinities of political …

An understanding of the phytogeographic history of a region depends upon an adequate
fossil record to reveal migrational histories and the timing and directions (s) of introductions …

In this review we discuss the use of non-coding DNA at the intraspecific level in plants. Both
nuclear and organelle non-coding regions are widely used in interspecific phylogenetic …

Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized molecular systematics as well as
population and conservation genetics. It is now possible to obtain enormous amounts of …

We analyze distributional patterns of Neotropical flowering plants between 38° N and 55° S.
Along with identification of centers of angiosperm biodiversity and endemism, we explore …

Societal Impact Statement Identifying regions of the world that are rich in plant species will
enable conservation efforts to be more effectively targeted. We present a review of global …
