Tangled banks: A landscape genomic evaluation of Wallace's Riverine barrier hypothesis for three Amazon plant species
(Wiley, 2019-04-02)
Wallace's Riverine Barrier hypothesis is one of the earliest biogeographic explanations for Amazon speciation, but it has rarely been tested in plants. In this study, we used three woody Amazonian plant species to evaluate ...
Fine-scale niche structure of Neotropical forests reflects a legacy of the Great American Biotic Interchange
(MacMillan Publishers, 2013-08-13)
The tendency of species to retain their ancestral niches may link processes that determine community assembly with biogeographic histories that span geological time scales. Biogeo- graphic history is likely to have had a ...
Resolution of the Galphimia langlassei complex (Malpighiaceae) from the Pacific slope of Mexico
(2003-11-13)
Four species were discerned in a complex of Galphimia Cav. (Malpighiaceae) from the Pacific slope of Mexico. Three are newly described (G. arenicola, G. mexiae, and G. radialis). One is transferred from Thryallis L. (nom. ...
Lectotypification of names of Malpighiaceae—I
(University of Michigan Herbarium, 2007-08-13)
Lectotypes are designated for the following names of Malpighiaceae: Alcoceratothrix
Nied., Alcoceratothrix rugosa var. minor Nied., Aspicarpa lanata Rose, Bunchosia costaricensis Rose,
Bunchosia gaudichaudiana Adr. Juss., ...
Galphimia (Malpighiaceae) in South America
(2005-02-07)
A revision of the South American species of Galphimia (Malpighiaceae) is presented. Four species, G. amambayensis, G. australis, G. brasiliensis, and G. platyphylla, are recognized. Full descriptions, a key, and two maps ...
The effects of read length, quality and quantity on microsatellite discovery and primer development: from Illumina to PacBio
(John Wiley and Sons, 2014-09)
The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has transformed the way microsatellites are isolated for ecological and evolutionary investigations. Recent attempts to employ NGS for microsatellite discovery ...
The emerging field of geogenomics: constraining geological problems with genetic data.
(Elsevier, 2014-04)
The development of a genomics-derived discipline within geology is timely, as a result of major advances in acquiring and processing geologically relevant genetic data. This paper articulates the emerging field of ...
Survival near ice sheet margins for some, but not all, North American trees
(2019-04-08)
Temperate species experienced dramatic range reductions during the Last Glacial Maximum, yet refugial populations from which modern populations are descended have never been precisely located. Climate-based models identify ...
Plant DNA Barcodes, Taxonomic Management and Species Discovery in Tropical Forests
(Humana Press, Springer, 2012)
DNA barcodes have great potential for species identification and taxonomic discovery in tropical forests. This use of DNA barcodes requires a reference DNA library of known taxa with which to match DNA from unidentified ...
Genetic evidence of Quaternary demographic changes in four rainforest tree species sampled across the Isthmus of Panama
(Blackwell, 2013)
Aim We examined and compared population genetic structure in a suite of four co-occurring Panamanian tree species and performed coalescent-based analyses of demographic history to evaluate hypotheses of tropical vegetation ...
