Comparative phylogeography of red maple (Acer rubrum L.) and silver maple (Acer saccharinum L.): impacts of habitat specialization, hybridization and glacial history
(2011)
Aim We analysed variation in chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) in red maple (Acer rubrum L.) and silver maple (Acer saccharinum L.) across a large part of their geographic ranges. Acer rubrum is one of the most common and morphologically ...
RESEARCH PAPER Genomic evidence of a widespread southern distribution during the Last Glacial Maximum for two eastern North American hickory species
(Wiley, 2018-06-08)
Aim: Phylogeographical studies of temperate forest taxa often infer complex histories
involving population subdivision into distinct refugia during the Last Glacial
Maximum (LGM). However, some temperate deciduous trees ...
Amazon divergence and cross-Andean dispersal of a widespread Neotropical tree species (Jacaranda copaia, Bignoniaceae)
(Blackwell, 2013)
Aim The phylogeographical history of Neotropical species can be difficult to reconstruct because of superimposed Neogene and Quaternary histories, and because of taxonomic uncertainty. We analysed range-wide genetic diversity ...
Speciation slowing down in widespread and long-living tree taxa: insights from the tropical timber tree genus Milicia (Moraceae).
(MacMillan Publishers, 2014-02)
The long generation time and large effective size of widespread forest tree species can result in slow evolutionary rate and incomplete lineage sorting, complicating species delimitation. We addressed this issue with the ...
History and Geography of Neotropical Tree Diversity
(Annual Reviews, 2019-11-04)
Early botanical explorers invoked biogeographic history to explain the remarkable tree diversity of Neotropical forests. In this context, we review the history of Neotropical tree diversity over the past 100 million years, ...
Six new species of Tetrapterys (Malpighiaceae)
(2017-03)
Six new species of the Neotropical genus Tetrapterys (Malpighiaceae) are described and illustrated: T. amazonica C.E.Anderson (Brazil, Colombia and Peru), T. andersonii C.E.Anderson (Mexico), T. callejasii W.R.Anderson ...
Combination of Mascagnia and Triopterys (Malpighiaceae)
(2013-11-15)
The most recent phylogenetic analysis of Malpighiaceae shows the small Caribbean genus Triopterys to be nested within the larger continental genus Mascagnia. The morphology of Triopterys is consistent with that of Mascagnia, ...
Target sequence capture in the Brazil nut family (Lecythidaceae): marker selection and in silico capture from genome skimming data
(2019-06)
Reconstructing species trees from multi-loci datasets is becoming a standard practice in phylogenetics. Nevertheless, access to high-throughput sequencing may be costly, especially with studies of many samples. The potential ...
Circumscription and nomenclature of Hiraea barclayana, H. reclinata, and H. ternifolia (Malpighiaceae), and of seven species misassigned to them.
(2016-08-08)
A review of collections from Mexico to northern South America that had been primarily determined as H. barclayana, H. reclinata, and H. ternifolia, or synonyms, showed them to include ten species. Misinterpretations were ...
