The value of sampling anomalous taxa in phylogenetic studies: major clades of the Asteraceae revealed
The largest family of flowering plants Asteraceae (Compositae) is found to contain 12 major
lineages rather than five as previously suggested. Five of these lineages heretofore had …

Integrating molecular phylogenetic and paleobotanical evidence on origin of the flower
JA Doyle - International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2008 - journals.uchicago.edu
Inferences on the origin of the angiosperm flower require consideration of other seed plants,
especially fossils. Molecular data favor a relationship of Gnetales to conifers rather than to …

Insights into the evolution of CCMs from comparisons with other resource acquisition and assimilation processes
Regarding inorganic carbon as 'just another'chemical resource used in the growth of aquatic
photolithotrophs, we ask three questions and then attempt to answer them.(1) How common …

Inference of higher-order conifer relationships from a multi-locus plastid data set
We reconstructed the broad backbone of conifer phylogeny from a survey of 15–17 plastid
loci and associated noncoding regions from exemplar conifer species. Parsimony and …
