A targeted subgenomic approach for phylogenomics based on microfluidic PCR and high throughput sequencing

The paper introduces a subgenomic sequencing method using microfluidic PCR and HTS to generate phylogenetic data, demonstrating its application on plant samples and providing a bioinformatics pipeline for allele recovery.

Shifts in diversification rates linked to biogeographic movement into new areas, an example of disparate continental distributions and a recent radiation in the Andes

This study examines diversification rates in the plant clade Rhinantheae, finding increased diversification in South American species coinciding with biogeographic movement into the Andes.
