Abstract Southern Africa's Greater Cape Floristic Region (GCFR)–a hotspot of biological
diversity and palaeo-anthropological evidence for modern human evolution–is a climatically …

Cyperaceae (sedges) are the third largest monocot family and are of considerable economic
and ecological importance. Sedges represent an ideal model family to study evolutionary …

Despite recent advances in molecular phylogenetic studies, deep evolutionary relationships
in Cyperaceae are still not entirely resolved. Reduction of floral morphology and complex …

Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses of nuclear ribosomal DNA (ETS1f)
and plastid DNA (rpl32-trnL, trnH-psbA) sequence data are presented for 'C4 …

Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of nrDNA (ETS1f) and plastid DNA (rpl32-trnL,
trnH-psbA) sequence data are presented for 'C3 Cyperus'(Cyperaceae). The term 'C3 …

Transitions from wind pollination to insect pollination were pivotal to the radiation of land
plants, yet only a handful are known and the trait shifts required are poorly understood. We …

Background and aims–Recent molecular studies validate a broad definition of Cyperus
(Cyperaceae) uniting genera previously scattered in Cyperoideae. First indication of their …

Abstract The sedge genera Alinula, Ascolepis, Kyllinga, Lipocarpha, Pycreus,
Queenslandiella, Remirea, Sphaerocyperus and Volkiella (Cyperaceae) were recognised at …

The problem of generic classification of the basommatophoran family Lymnaeidae
Rafinesque, 1815 is reviewed as well as recent theoretical approaches to genus delineation …

• Premise of the study: The broad austral distribution of Schoeneae is almost certainly a
product of long‐distance dispersal. Owing to the inadequacies of existing phylogenetic data …
