Despite the promise that molecular data would provide a seemingly unlimited source of
independent characters, many plant phylogenetic studies are still based on only two …

An important goal of the angiosperm systematics community has been to develop a shared
approach to molecular data collection, such that phylogenomic data sets from different focal …

Angiosperms (flowering plants) are by far the most diverse land plant group with over
300,000 species. The sudden appearance of diverse angiosperms in the fossil record was …

Disentangling species boundaries and phylogenetic relationships within recent evolutionary
radiations is a challenge due to the poor morphological differentiation and low genetic …

Targeted sequence capture is a promising approach for large-scale phylogenomics.
However, rapid evolutionary radiations pose significant challenges for phylogenetic …

The genomic revolution offers renewed hope of resolving rapid radiations in the Tree of Life.
The development of the multispecies coalescent model and improved gene tree estimation …

Angiosperms dominate the Earth's ecosystems and provide most of the basic necessities for
human life. The major angiosperm clades comprise 64 orders, as recognized by the APG IV …

Phylogenomics has shown great potential in resolving evolutionary relationships at different
taxonomical levels. However, it remains controversial whether all orthologous genes under …

In phylogenetic studies across angiosperms, at various taxonomic levels, polytomies have
persisted despite efforts to resolve them by increasing sampling of taxa and loci. The large …

The angiosperm order Malpighiales includes∼ 16,000 species and constitutes up to 40% of
the understory tree diversity in tropical rain forests. Despite remarkable progress in …
