Unearthing belowground bud banks in fire‐prone ecosystems
Despite long‐time awareness of the importance of the location of buds in plant biology,
research on belowground bud banks has been scant. Terms such as lignotuber, xylopodium …

[HTML][HTML] Are legumes different? Origins and consequences of evolving nitrogen fixing symbioses
U Mathesius - Journal of Plant Physiology, 2022 - Elsevier
Nitrogen fixing symbioses between plants and bacteria are ancient and, while not
numerous, are formed in diverse lineages of plants ranging from microalgae to …

The rise of angiosperms pushed conifers to decline during global cooling
FL Condamine, D Silvestro… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
Competition among species and entire clades can impact species diversification and

[HTML][HTML] Recent advances on phylogenomics of gymnosperms and a new classification
Living gymnosperms comprise four major groups: cycads, Ginkgo, conifers, and
gnetophytes. Relationships among/within these lineages have not been fully resolved. Next …

Gene duplications and phylogenomic conflict underlie major pulses of phenotypic evolution in gymnosperms
Inferring the intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of species diversification and phenotypic disparity
across the tree of life is a major challenge in evolutionary biology. In green plants, polyploidy …

Adaptive radiation, correlated and contingent evolution, and net species diversification in Bromeliaceae
We present an integrative model predicting associations among epiphytism, the tank habit,
entangling seeds, C 3 vs. CAM photosynthesis, avian pollinators, life in fertile, moist …

Resequencing 545 ginkgo genomes across the world reveals the evolutionary history of the living fossil
Abstract As Charles Darwin anticipated, living fossils provide excellent opportunities to study
evolutionary questions related to extinction, competition, and adaptation. Ginkgo (Ginkgo …

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 …

Reconciling fossils with phylogenies reveals the origin and macroevolutionary processes explaining the global cycad biodiversity
The determinants of biodiversity patterns can be understood using macroevolutionary
analyses. The integration of fossils into phylogenies offers a deeper understanding of …

Origin and diversification of living cycads: a cautionary tale on the impact of the branching process prior in Bayesian molecular dating
Background Bayesian relaxed-clock dating has significantly influenced our understanding of
the timeline of biotic evolution. This approach requires the use of priors on the branching …
