Disentangling phylogenetic relationships proves challenging for groups that have evolved
recently, especially if there is ongoing reticulation. Although they are in most cases …

Patterns of polyploid evolution in the taxonomically controversial Dactylorhiza
incarnata/maculata groups were inferred genetically by analyzing 399 individuals from 177 …

To obtain further information on the polyploid dynamics of the the Dactylorhiza
incarnata/maculata polyploid complex and the origin of the allotetraploid D. sphagnicola …

Background Hybridization and polyploidy are potent forces that have regularly stimulated
plant evolution and adaptation. Dactylorhiza majalis ss, D. traunsteineri sl and D. ebudensis …

Sequence data from a portion of the external transcribed spacer (ETS) and from the internal
transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) of 18S–26S nuclear ribosomal DNA were used together …

The Dactylorhiza incarnata/maculata complex (Orchidaceae) was used as a model system
to understand genetic differentiation processes in a naturally occurring polyploid complex …

The utility of the PCR‐based AFLP technique (polymerase chain reaction; amplified
fragment length polymorphisms) was explored in elucidating details of polyploid evolution in …

Setting conservation priorities in taxonomically complex groups such as the orchid genus
Dactylorhiza is a difficult task. As an alternative to taxonomic diversity, we used here a …

Secondary hybrid zones are not uncommon in Dactylorhiza, but knowledge of ecological
and evolutionary consequences of hybridization are scarce. Here, we assess interploidal …

The digitate-tubered clade (Dactylorhiza sl plus Gymnadenia sl) within subtribe Orchidinae
is an important element of the North-temperate orchid flora and has become a model system …
