Is metabolic rate a universal 'pacemaker'for biological processes?
DS Glazier - Biological Reviews, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
ABSTRACT A common, long‐held belief is that metabolic rate drives the rates of various
biological, ecological and evolutionary processes. Although this metabolic pacemaker view …

Being John Harper: Using evolutionary ideas to improve understanding of global patterns in plant traits
AT Moles - Journal of Ecology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
This review summarizes current understanding of five key plant traits: seed mass, plant
height, wood density, leaf mass per unit area and leaf size, emphasizing ways in which our …

The rise of angiosperms pushed conifers to decline during global cooling
FL Condamine, D Silvestro… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
Competition among species and entire clades can impact species diversification and
extinction, which can shape macroevolutionary patterns. The fossil record shows successive …

Impact of whole‐genome duplication events on diversification rates in angiosperms
Premise of the Study Polyploidy or whole‐genome duplication (WGD) pervades the
evolutionary history of angiosperms. Despite extensive progress in our understanding of …

Analysis of 41 plant genomes supports a wave of successful genome duplications in association with the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary
Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs), also referred to as paleopolyploidizations,
have been reported in most evolutionary lineages. Their attributed role remains a major …

Genome structure-based Juglandaceae phylogenies contradict alignment-based phylogenies and substitution rates vary with DNA repair genes
In lineages of allopolyploid origin, sets of homoeologous chromosomes may coexist that
differ in gene content and syntenic structure. Presence or absence of genes and …

Contrasting rates of molecular evolution and patterns of selection among gymnosperms and flowering plants
The majority of variation in rates of molecular evolution among seed plants remains both
unexplored and unexplained. Although some attention has been given to flowering plants …

Plastid genomes reveal support for deep phylogenetic relationships and extensive rate variation among palms and other commelinid monocots
Despite progress based on multilocus, phylogenetic studies of the palms (order Arecales,
family Arecaceae), uncertainty remains in resolution/support among major clades and for the …

Phylogenomic approaches untangle early divergences and complex diversifications of the olive plant family
Background Deep-branching phylogenetic relationships are often difficult to resolve
because phylogenetic signals are obscured by the long history and complexity of …

The origin of the legumes is a complex paleopolyploid phylogenomic tangle closely associated with the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) mass extinction event
The consequences of the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary (KPB) mass extinction
for the evolution of plant diversity remain poorly understood, even though evolutionary …
