Global analysis of Poales diversification–parallel evolution in space and time into open and closed habitats
Poales are one of the most species‐rich, ecologically and economically important orders of
plants and often characterise open habitats, enabled by unique suites of traits. We test six …

Genomic hotspots of chromosome rearrangements explain conserved synteny despite high rates of chromosome evolution in a holocentric lineage
Holocentric organisms, unlike typical monocentric organisms, have kinetochore activity
distributed along almost the whole length of the chromosome. Because of this, chromosome …
