Long-distance dispersal (LDD) beyond the range of a species is an important driver of
ecological and evolutionary patterns, but insufficient attention has been given to …

Bipolar disjunct distributions are a fascinating biogeographic pattern exhibited by about 30
vascular plants, whose populations reach very high latitudes in the northern and southern …

1. Hyphantria cunea is a problematic invasive species that has caused considerable
damage to agricultural and forestry ecosystems in China. 2. We compared 19 bioclimate …

Abstract Carex section Phacocystis (Cyperaceae) is one of the most diverse and
taxonomically complex groups of sedges (between 116 and 147 species), with a worldwide …

Abstract Changes in holocentric chromosome number due to fission and fusion have direct
and immediate effects on genome structure and recombination rates. These, in turn, may …

Wide‐range geographically discontinuous distributions have long intrigued scientists. We
explore the role of ecology, geology, and dispersal in the formation of these large‐scale …

Background Gastrodia elata is widely used in China as a valuable herbal medicine. Owing
to its high medicinal and nutrient value, wild resources of G. elata have been overexploited …

Premise of The Study Autopolyploidy, or whole‐genome duplication within a species, leads
to closely related cytotypes in one geographic location. One hypothesized mechanism by …

Aim Colonization of new areas may entail shifts in diversification rates linked to
biogeographical movement (dispersification), which may involve niche evolution if species …

Aim Numerous studies have assessed whether species niches are conserved in
geographically separated regions. However, most of them were performed on invasive …
