The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is the highest and one of the most extensive plateaus in
the world. Phylogenetic, phylogeographic, and ecological studies support plant …

We review the empirical phylogenetic literature on plant diversification, highlighting
challenges in separating the effects of speciation and extinction, in specifying diversification …

Angiosperms developed floral nectaries that reward pollinating insects. Although nectar
function and composition have been characterized, the mechanism of nectar secretion has …

• Premise of the study: Noncoding chloroplast DNA (NC‐cpDNA) sequences are the staple
data source of low‐level phylogeographic and phylogenetic studies of angiosperms. We …

The family Ranunculaceae, a member of early-diverging eudicots that is increasingly being
used as a model for the study of plant developmental evolution, has been the focus of …

The columbine genus Aquilegia is a classic example of an adaptive radiation, involving a
wide variety of pollinators and habitats. Here we present the genome assembly of A …

Evolutionary radiations are prominent and pervasive across many plant lineages in diverse
geographical and ecological settings; in neotropical rainforests there is growing evidence …

Urophysa is a Chinese endemic genus comprising two species, Urophysa rockii and
Urophysa henryi. In this study, we sequenced the complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of …

Difficulties in generating nuclear data for polyploids have impeded phylogenetic study of
these groups. We describe a high‐throughput protocol and an associated bioinformatics …

The evolution of novel features, such as eyes or wings, that allow organisms to exploit their
environment in new ways can lead to increased diversification rates. Therefore …
