Anatomy of a mega-radiation: Biogeography and niche evolution in Astragalus

R. A. Folk, J. Charboneau, m. belitz, T. Singh, H. R. Kates, D. E. Soltis, P. S. Soltis, R. P. Guralnick, C. M. Siniscalchi

This study investigates the biogeography and niche evolution of Astragalus, finding that chromosome number correlates with diversification, central Asia as the origin, and soil and temperature divergence between hemispheres.

Phylogenetic and spatial determinants of leaf endophyte microbiomes in the flowering plant genus Heuchera (Saxifragaceae)

D. J. Pantinople, R. Conner, S. Sutton-Dauber, K. Broussard, C. M. Siniscalchi, N. J. Engle-Wrye, H. R. Jordan, R. A. Folk

This study examines leaf endophyte microbiomes in Heuchera, finding host phylogeny influences bacteria while geographic distance and climate factors affect fungi.

Fagalean phylogeny in a nutshell: Chronicling the diversification history of Fagales

C. M. Siniscalchi, J. Correa-Narvaez, H. R. Kates, D. E. Soltis, P. S. Soltis, R. P. Guralnick, S. R. Manchester, R. A. Folk

This study reconstructs the diversification history of Fagales using a fossil-aware phylogenetic approach, finding older divergence times and highlighting the impact of fossil inclusion on biogeographic and diversification estimates.

Testing the evolutionary drivers of nitrogen-fixing symbioses in challenging soil environments

C. M. Siniscalchi, H. R. Kates, P. R. Soltis, D. E. Soltis, R. P. Guralnick, R. A. Folk

The paper tests environmental determinants of nitrogen-fixing symbioses using phylogenetic analysis and finds RNS is linked to warm, arid, and nitrogen-poor habitats but not directly responsible for diversification.
