Has vicariance or dispersal been the predominant biogeographic force in Madagascar? Only time will tell
Madagascar is one of the world's hottest biodiversity hot spots due to its diverse, endemic,
and highly threatened biota. This biota shows a distinct signature of evolution in isolation …

Nested radiations and the pulse of angiosperm diversification: increased diversification rates often follow whole genome duplications
Our growing understanding of the plant tree of life provides a novel opportunity to uncover
the major drivers of angiosperm diversity. Using a time‐calibrated phylogeny, we …

Analysis of 41 plant genomes supports a wave of successful genome duplications in association with the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary
Ancient whole-genome duplications (WGDs), also referred to as paleopolyploidizations,
have been reported in most evolutionary lineages. Their attributed role remains a major …

Rates of molecular evolution are linked to life history in flowering plants
SA Smith, MJ Donoghue - science, 2008 - science.org
Variable rates of molecular evolution have been documented across the tree of life, but the
cause of this observed variation within and among clades remains uncertain. In plants, it has …
