The past decade has seen a major breakthrough in our ability to easily and inexpensively
sequence genome‐scale data from diverse lineages. The development of high‐throughput …

As tree species vary extensively in genome size, complexity, and resource development,
reduced representation methods have been increasingly employed for the generation of …

Summary Oaks (Quercus, Fagaceae) are the dominant tree genus of North America in
species number and biomass, and Mexico is a global center of oak diversity. Understanding …

The evolutionary history of Quercus section Cyclobalanopsis, a dominant lineage in East
Asian evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs), has not been comprehensively studied using …

Disentangling species boundaries and phylogenetic relationships within recent evolutionary
radiations is a challenge due to the poor morphological differentiation and low genetic …

Despite the promise that molecular data would provide a seemingly unlimited source of
independent characters, many plant phylogenetic studies are still based on only two …

Stickleback fishes in the family Gasterosteidae have become model organisms in ecology
and evolutionary biology. However, even in the case of the most widely studied species in …

Neuropogonoid species in the lichen-forming fungal genus Usnea exhibit great
morphological variation that can be misleading for delimitation of species. We specifically …

Oaks (Quercus) comprise more than 400 species worldwide and centres of diversity for most
sections lie in the Americas and East/Southeast Asia. The only exception is the Eurasian …

The large and diverse genus Salix L. is of particular interest for decades of biological
research. However, despite the morphological plasticity, the reconstruction of phylogenetic …
