Ecological stoichiometry is the study of the balance of multiple chemical elements in
ecological interactions. This paper reviews recent findings in this area and seeks to broaden …

Identification of the species origin of pollen has many applications, including assessment of
plant–pollinator networks, reconstruction of ancient plant communities, product …

• Premise of the study: Just as Sanger sequencing did more than 20 years ago, next‐
generation sequencing (NGS) is poised to revolutionize plant systematics. By combining …

The phylogenetic distribution of Gliocladium within the Hypocreales was investigated by
parsimony analysis of partial sequences from the nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA (28S …

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of 18–26S nuclear ribosomal DNA was
sequenced in 12 representatives of the Compositae subtribe Madiinae and two outgroup …

The 3′ region of the external transcribed spacer (ETS) of 18S–26S nuclear ribosomal DNA
was sequenced in 19 representatives ofCalycadenia/Osmadeniaand two outgroup species …

Polyploidy is a prominent process in plant evolution; yet few data address the question of
whether homeologous sequences evolve independently subsequent to polyploidization. We …

The copy number and sequence variation of the ribosomal DNA (rDNA) operon are of
functional significance in evolution and ecology of organisms. However, the relationship …

• Premise of study: To reliably identify lineages below the species level such as subspecies
or varieties, we propose an extension to DNA‐barcoding using next‐generation sequencing …

Various factors, including taxon density, sampling error, convergence, and heterogeneity of
evolutionary rates, can potentially lead to incongruence between phylogenetic trees based …
