Phylogeography, born to bridge population genetics and phylogenetics in an explicit
geographic context, has provided a successful platform for unveiling species evolutionary …

Abstract The numerous Mediterranean islands (> 10,000) are very important from a
biodiversity point of view, both in term of plant species (numerous endemics, presence of …

A central aim of biogeography is to understand when and how modern patterns of species
diversity and distribution developed. Many plant groups have disjunct distributions within the …

Abstract Interpretations of current diversity patterns based on the contraction/expansion
model forced by climatic oscillations during the last two million years are commonplace in …

Phylogenetic approaches to biogeography are rapidly becoming more sophisticated. Four
types of models are being explored in the literature:(a) diffusion models,(b) island models,(c) …

The vascular flora of Sardinia has been investigated for more than 250 years, with particular
attention to the endemic component due to their phylogeographic and conservation interest …

Simple Summary Aiming to cope with the provisions of Aichi Biodiversity Targets, EU
Biodiversity Strategy and EU Green Deal, we conducted the first nationwide …

The family Araceae (3790 species, 117 genera) has one of the oldest fossil records among
angiosperms. Ecologically, members of this family range from free‐floating aquatics (Pistia …

• Premise of the study: The first family‐wide molecular phylogeny of the Araceae, a family of
about 3800 published species in 120 genera, became available in 1995, followed by a …

• Premise of the study: The mint family (Lamiaceae) is the sixth largest family of flowering
plants, with the tribe Mentheae containing about a third of the species. We present a detailed …
