Schiedea (Caryophyllaceae) is a monophyletic genus of 34 species, all endemic to the
Hawaiian Islands, that arose from a single colonization, providing one of the best examples …

A multi-disciplinary approach, including phylogenetic analysis, population biology, and
quantitative genetics, has helped to elucidate the selective factors that have promoted …

Schiedea and Alsinidendron (Caryophyllaceae), which represent the fifth or sixth largest
endemic radiation of species in the angiosperm flora of the Hawaiian Islands, exhibit striking …

The current Hawaiian angiosperm flora arose from 270 to 282 successful colonization
events (Wagner, 1991). In about 10% of these colonization events, spectacular radiations …

Geomorphological changes have been demonstrated to have had profound impacts on
biodiversity, often leading to demographic expansions and contractions and allopatric …

This is the first report of a study devoted to the population genetics of speciation in the
endemic Hawaiian plant genus Schiedea (Caryophyllaceae). Here, we report the estimates …

Genome sizes may vary by orders of magnitude among relatively closely related species.
Gene and genome duplications and movements of transposable elements (TEs) can quickly …

The biota of the Hawaiian Islands has long been noted for many spectacular examples of
adaptive radiation (Carlquist 1974; Wagner et al. 1990). As a result of moist northeasterly …

Breeding systems in Schiedea and Alsinidendron (Caryophyllaceae: Alsinoideae) were
characterized in order to determine whether the dioecy that occurs in Schiedea evolved in …

Phylogenetic analysis of Schiedea and Alsinidendron (Caryophyllaceae), a monophyletic
lineage endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, produced six equally most parsimonious trees …
