A 4000-species dataset provides new insight into the evolution of ferns
Ferns are the second-most diverse lineage of vascular plants on Earth, yet the best-sampled
time-calibrated phylogeny of the group to date includes fewer than 5% of global diversity …

Fast and accurate detection of evolutionary shifts in Ornstein–Uhlenbeck models
The detection of evolutionary shifts in trait evolution from extant taxa is motivated by the
study of convergent evolution, or to correlate shifts in traits with habitat changes or with …

The evolutionary diversity of mosses–taxonomic heterogeneity and its ecological drivers
S Huttunen, N Bell, L Hedenäs - Critical reviews in plant sciences, 2018 - Taylor & Francis
Mosses (division Bryophyta) are characterized by the dominance of haploid, poikilohydric
gametophytes, and relatively persistent sporophytes that are dependent on the gametophyte …

Phylogeny, historical biogeography, and diversification of angiosperm order Ericales suggest ancient Neotropical and East Asian connections
Inferring interfamilial relationships within the eudicot order Ericales has remained one of the
more recalcitrant problems in angiosperm phylogenetics, likely due to a rapid, ancient …
