PREMISE OF THE STUDY: After decades of interest, the contribution of hybridization to
ecological diversification remains unclear. Hybridization is a potent source of novelty, but …

Clonal plants are, on average, considered to be as genetically diverse as nonclonal plants.
However, the behaviour of clonal plants ranges between multiclonality and uniclonality …

The establishment and success of polyploids are thought to often be facilitated by ecological
niche differentiation from diploids. Unfortunately, most studies compared diploids and …

Premise Disjunct distributions have been commonly observed in mountain plant species
and have stimulated phylogeographic and phylogenetic research. Here we studied Alyssum …

Homoploid hybridization has increasingly been recognized as an important source of
genetic variation to support adaptation to changing environmental conditions, the invasion of …

Premise of the Study Successful establishment of neopolyploids, and therefore polyploid
speciation, is thought to be contingent on environmental niche shifts from their progenitors …

Polyploidization has contributed greatly to current plant diversity. Allopolyploid speciation,
which can rapidly overcome meiosis abnormalities, is a common and repeated process in …

Despite the widespread distribution and common habitat dominance of clonal plant species
the mechanisms for their ecological success often remain uncertain. Allium ampeloprasum …

Elucidating the evolution of recently diverged and polyploid-rich plant lineages may be
challenging even with high-throughput sequencing, both for biological reasons and …

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 …
