Recent research on parasite evolution has highlighted the importance of host specialization
in speciation, either through host-switching or cospeciation. Many parasites show common …

México es considerado un centro secundario de diversidad del género Pinus. Un análisis
de la literatura más reciente indica que los pinos migraron hacia el actual territorio …

We used chloroplast DNA sequences from matK and rbcL to infer the phylogeny for 101 of
the approximately 111 species of Pinus (Pinaceae). At the level of subsection and above …

Fire may act as a selective force on plants both through its direct effects by killing or
wounding susceptible individuals and through its effect on the environment: the post‐fire …

Ecological explanations for the prevalence of resource specialists are abundant, whereas
phylogenetic evidence on their origins is scarce. In this paper, we provide a molecular …

Outbreeding species with large, stable population sizes, such as widely distributed conifers,
are expected to harbor relatively more DNA sequence polymorphism. Under the neutral …

Genome size has been suggested to be a fundamental biological attribute in determining life‐
history traits in many groups of organisms. We examined the relationships between pine …

The sequence divergence of chloroplast rbcL, matK, trnV intron, and rpl20‐rps18 spacer
regions was analyzed among 32 Pinus species and representatives of six other genera in …

Genetic association studies are rapidly becoming the experimental approach of choice to
dissect complex traits, including tolerance to drought stress, which is the most common …

A molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Macaronesian endemic species of Convolvulus
was undertaken using data from the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) …
