Hybridization can facilitate both evolutionary diversification and extinction and has had a
critical role in plant evolution, with c. 25% of species known to hybridize in some temperate …

Nepenthaceae is one of the largest carnivorous plant families and features ecological and
morphological adaptations indicating an impressive adaptive radiation. However …

As a consequence of hybridization, polyploidization, and apomixis, the genus Cotoneaster
(Rosaceae) represents one of the most complicated and controversial lineages in …

PREMISE Hybrids contain divergent alleles that can confound phylogenetic analyses but
can provide insights into reticulated evolution when identified and phased. We developed a …

Encompassing ca. 200 species distributed in paleotropical Africa and Asia, Amorphophallus
is one of the largest genera of Araceae. In spite of the great economic interest in its …

Polyploidy and hybridization are important processes in seed-free plant evolution. However,
a major gap lies in our understanding of how these processes affect the evolutionary history …

Biodiversity monitoring projects using environmental DNA techniques are becoming
increasingly widespread. However, these techniques depend heavily on the quality and …

DNA barcoding is based on the premise that the barcode sequences can distinguish
individuals (strains) of different species because their sequence variation between species …

Plastid molecular phylogenies that broadly sampled angiosperm lineages imply that
carnivorous plants evolved at least 11 times independently in 13 families and 6 orders …

Abstract Development of pitchers is the key ornamental feature of carnivorous endemic
Nepenthes khasiana Hook. f. As the modification of leaves leads to pitcher formation, the …
