Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is characteristic of almost all fundamental lineages of
land plants. Unfortunately, the timings of WGD events are loosely constrained and …

Many eukaryotic genomes harbour large numbers of duplicated sequences, of diverse
biotypes, resulting from several mechanisms including recombination, whole genome …

The tropics are the source of most biodiversity yet inadequate sampling obscures answers to
fundamental questions about how this diversity evolves. We leveraged samples assembled …

Premise of the Study Large phylogenies can help shed light on macroevolutionary patterns
that inform our understanding of fundamental processes that shape the tree of life. These …

Inferring the intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of species diversification and phenotypic disparity
across the tree of life is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. In green plants, polyploidy …

Mosses are a highly diverse lineage of land plants, whose diversification, spanning at least
400 million years, remains phylogenetically ambiguous due to the lack of fossils, massive …

Phylogenomic datasets have been successfully used to address questions involving
evolutionary relationships, patterns of genome structure, signatures of selection, and gene …

Premise of the Study Phylogenetic support has been difficult to evaluate within the green
plant tree of life partly due to a lack of specificity between conflicted versus poorly informed …

The Brassicaceae family comprises c. 4000 species including economically important crops
and the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Despite their importance, the relationships among …

The Caryophyllales includes 40 families and 12,500 species, representing a large and
diverse clade of angiosperms. Collectively, members of the clade grow on all continents and …
