A combinatorial view on speciation and adaptive radiation
Speciation is often thought of as a slow process due to the waiting times for mutations that
cause incompatibilities, and permit ecological differentiation or assortative mating. Cases of …

On the relative abundance of autopolyploids and allopolyploids
The prevalence of autopolyploids in angiosperms has long been a subject of debate.
Müntzing (1936) and Darlington (1937) concluded that autopolyploids were common and …

Polyploidy and genome evolution in plants
Genome doubling (polyploidy) has been and continues to be a pervasive force in plant
evolution. Modern plant genomes harbor evidence of multiple rounds of past …

A likelihood framework for inferring the evolution of geographic range on phylogenetic trees
At a time when historical biogeography appears to be again expanding its scope after a
period of focusing primarily on discerning area relationships using cladograms, new …

Genome downsizing in polyploid plants
IJ Leitch, MD Bennett - Biological journal of the Linnean Society, 2004 - academic.oup.com
All else being equal, polyploids are expected to have larger C-values (amount of DNA in the
unreplicated gametic nucleus) than their diploid progenitors, increasing in direct proportion …
