Plant studies comprise a relatively small proportion of the phylogeographic literature, likely
as a consequence of the fundamental challenges posed by the complex genomic structures …

Here, we present a review of the studies of evolutionary genetics (phylogenetics, population
genetics, and phylogeography) using genetic data as well as genome scale assemblies in …

Abstract Cereus (Cactaceae; Cereeae) comprises c. 30 predominantly South American
species distributed among the subgenera Oblongicarpi, Ebneria, Mirabella and Cereus. To …

In order to investigate biogeographic influences on xeric biota in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
(BAF), a biodiversity hotspot, we used a monophyletic group including three cactus taxa as a …

The study of transferability of simple sequence repeats (SSR) among closely related species
is a well-known strategy in population genetics, however transferability among distinct …

In comparative phylogenetic and population genetic studies, one of the most crucial steps is
to select appropriate DNA markers, a decision based primarily on the estimated variation in …

In allopatric systems, where gene flow is highly constrained, the distinction between
intraspecific differentiation and speciation is a challenging task. Pilosocereus jauruensis is a …

Cereinae comprises 14 genera distributed in Neotropical dry forest formations such as in the
Caatingas of northeastern Brazil or in rocky outcrops in the north of southeastern Brazil …

Succulent cacti (Cactaceae) are among the most threatened taxonomic groups assessed to
date. Here we evaluated the genetic diversity and population structure of a narrow endemic …

ABSTRACT A species of Cereus s. str.(Cactaceae) endemic to Haiti is here described and
discussed. The species has long gone unnoticed by most botanists and cactologists, with a …
