Biological invasions impose ecological and economic problems on a global scale, but also
provide extraordinary opportunities for studying contemporary evolution. It is critical to …

During evolution, several types of sequences pass through genomes. Along with mutations
and internal genetic tinkering, they are a useful source of genetic variability for adaptation …

To provide insights into the fate of transposable elements (TEs) across timescales in a post-
polyploidization context, we comparatively investigate five sibling Dactylorhiza …

Polyploidy is a widespread phenomenon across angiosperms, and one of the main drivers
of diversification. Whilst it frequently involves hybridisation, autopolyploidy is also an …

Gene expression dynamics is a key component of polyploid evolution, varying in nature,
intensity, and temporal scales, most particularly in allopolyploids, where two or more sub …

Genome size variation is a crucial aspect of plant evolution, influenced by a complex
interplay of factors. Repetitive elements, which are fundamental components of genomic …

Recent progress in high-throughput sequencing technologies has dramatically increased
availability of genome data for prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Dinoflagellates have distinct …

Grasses are considered one of the most important angiosperm groups in economic terms.
The Setaria sphacelata complex is an intriguing species with considerable variation in …

Hybridization and polyploidy represent major features of Spartina (cordgrass) evolution, and
the recent formation of the common cordgrass Spartina anglica is one of the most striking …

The genus Ludwigia L. section Jussiaea is composed of a polyploid species complex with
2x, 4x, 6x and 10x ploidy levels, suggesting possible hybrid origins. The aim of the present …
