Identifying how organismal attributes and environmental change affect lineage
diversification is essential to our understanding of biodiversity. With the largest phylogeny …

We conducted a molecular phylogenetic study of the tribe Stipeae using nine plastid DNA
sequences (trnK‐matK, matK, trnH‐psbA, trnL‐F, rps3, ndhF, rpl32‐trnL, rps16‐trnK, rps16 …

The nature, value and relative importance of different lines of evidence for deciding the
circumscription and rank of genera are examined and discussed. First, I argue that the …

The tribe Stipeae with an estimated number of ca. 600 species is part of the grass subfamily
Pooideae and has near worldwide distribution. Its species are often dominant constituents of …

Analyses of the factors shaping genetic variation in widespread plant species are important
for understanding the evolutionary history and local adaptation and have applied …

The Pooideae are a highly diverse C3 grass subfamily that includes some of the most
economically important crops, nested within the highly speciose core-pooid clade. Here, we …

The Stipeae tribe is a group of 400− 600 grass species of worldwide distribution that are
currently placed in 21 genera. The 'needlegrasses' are characterized by having single …

ABSTRACT A molecular phylogenetic analysis based on plastid (trnK-matK, matK, trnH-
psbA, and trnL-trnF regions) and nuclear ITS DNA seq of 68 species representing 11 genera …

Genetic interchange between American and Eurasian species is fundamental to our
understanding of the biogeographical patterns, and we make a first attempt to reconstruct …

We conducted phylogenetic analyses of molecular data (ITS, trnH–psbA, trnC–trnL, and trnK–
rps16) for 71 species of stipoid grasses. Of these species, 30 are native to South America …
