Studies of plants have been instrumental for revealing how new species originate. For
several decades, botanical research has complemented and, in some cases, challenged …

Hybridization and polyploidization are important processes for plant evolution. However,
classification of hybrid or polyploid species has been notoriously difficult because of the …

Background Over the past decade, phylogenomics has greatly advanced our knowledge of
angiosperm evolution. However, phylogenomic studies of large angiosperm families with …

Speciation via hybridization and polyploidization is a major evolutionary force in plant
evolution but is still poorly understood for neopolyploid groups. Challenges are attributed to …

The unveiling of the angiosperm (flowering plant) tree of life over the past three decades has
been one of the great success stories of modern plant biology. Flowering plants underpin …

Target enrichment is becoming increasingly popular for phylogenomic studies. Although
baits for enrichment are typically designed to target single-copy genes, paralogs are often …

Simple Summary Plant species complexes with hybridization and asexual reproduction
often exhibit complex morphological patterns, which is problematic for classifications. Here …

The availability of phylogenetic data has greatly expanded in recent years. As a result, a
new era in phylogenetic analysis is dawning—one in which the methods we use to analyse …

Aim Although whole‐genome duplication (WGD) is an important speciation force, we still
lack a consensus on the role of niche differentiation in polyploid evolution. In addition, the …

Reticulation, caused by hybridization and allopolyploidization, is considered an important
and frequent phenomenon in the evolution of numerous plant lineages. Although both …
