Polyploidy has been hypothesized to be both an evolutionary dead-end and a source for
evolutionary innovation and species diversification. Although polyploid organisms …

Aim Although whole‐genome duplication (WGD) is an important speciation force, we still
lack a consensus on the role of niche differentiation in polyploid evolution. In addition, the …

The establishment and success of polyploids are thought to often be facilitated by ecological
niche differentiation from diploids. Unfortunately, most studies compared diploids and …

Polyploidy has important ecological effects, including ploidy-mediated effects on
morphology, breeding system and ecological tolerances. However, there is still little …

Polyploidy is a pervasive phenomenon in nature and has significantly contributed to the
adaptive evolution of plants. The conditions necessary for the spread of neopolyploids in …

Polyploidy is one of the most important evolutionary events in plants and a major factor in
speciation and plant diversification. About half of all higher plant species are categorized as …

Premise Polyploidy is a widespread mutational process in angiosperms that may alter
population performance of not only plants but also their interacting species. Yet, knowledge …

Flow cytometry has emerged as a uniquely flexible, accurate, and widely applicable
technology for the analysis of plant cells. One of its most important applications centers on …

Groups with morphological stasis are an interesting framework to address putative cryptic
species that may be hidden behind traditional taxonomic treatments, particularly when …

Premise Whole genome duplication is a major evolutionary event, but its role in ecological
divergence remains equivocal. When populations of different ploidy (cytotypes) overlap in …
