The vascular‐plant flora of the Hawaiian Islands is characterized by one of the highest rates
of species endemism in the world. Among flowering plants, approximately 89% of species …

Evolutionary and conservational differences between Hawaiian pteridophytes and
angiosperms involve differences in life histories (free-living generations, fertilization, and …

The angiosperm flora of the Hawaiian Islands, with its high incidence of dioecy, has been
central in development of hypotheses about the evolution of dioecy. Based on a recent …

Population genetic analyses of four species of epiphytic ferns endemic to Hawaii were
conducted to assess the levels and patterns of genetic variability within and among …

Abstract The biota of Hawaiian Islands is derived entirely from long distance dispersal, often
followed by in situ speciation. Species descended from each colonist constitute …

Botanists have long considered the origins of the Hawaiian flora in terms of long‐distance
dispersal from particular source areas. We extensively reviewed phylogenetic studies of the …

Recent studies of the phylogeny of several groups of native Hawaiian vascular plants have
led to significant insights into the origin and evolution of important elements of the Hawaiian …

The current Hawaiian angiosperm flora arose from 270 to 282 successful colonization
events (Wagner, 1991). In about 10% of these colonization events, spectacular radiations …

flowering plant species is used to weigh the relative influences of environmental and …
