The megadiverse genus Carex (c. 2000 species, Cyperaceae) has a nearly cosmopolitan
distribution, displaying an inverted latitudinal richness gradient with higher species diversity …

The field of systematics is experiencing a new molecular revolution driven by the increased
availability of high-throughput sequencing technologies. As these techniques become more …

Abstract Carex section Phacocystis (Cyperaceae) is one of the most diverse and
taxonomically complex groups of sedges (between 116 and 147 species), with a worldwide …

Abstract Traditional Cariceae and Carex (1966 spp.) classifications recognised five genera
(Carex, Cymophyllus, Kobresia, Schoenoxiphium, Uncinia) and four subgenera (Carex …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Relationships among closely related and recently diverged taxa
can be especially difficult to resolve. Here we use both Sanger sequencing and next …

Cyperaceae tribe Cariceae is characterized by both species richness and habitat diversity,
making it an ideal system to study ecological specialization and niche differentiation. We …

Phylogenetic studies of Carex L.(Cyperaceae) have consistently demonstrated that most
subgenera and sections are para‐or polyphyletic. Yet, taxonomists continue to use …

The sedge family (Cyperaceae: Poales; ca. 5600 spp.) is a hyperdiverse cosmopolitan
group with centres of species diversity in Africa, Australia, eastern Asia, North America, and …

Determining phylogenetic relationships among very closely related species has remained a
challenge for evolutionary biologists due to interlocus phylogenetic discordance and the …

Carex (Cyperaceae), with an estimated 2000 species, nearly cosmopolitan distribution and
broad range of habitats, is one of the largest angiosperm genera and the largest in the …
