Comparative phylogenomic analyses of SNP versus full locus datasets: insights and recommendations for researchers

This study compares SNP and full locus datasets in phylogenomic analyses, finding that tree topology is largely congruent but filtering missing data too strictly can reduce confidence in relationships.

Pleistocene glaciation advances the younger temporal dimension of species diversification in a major biodiversity hotspot

The paper uses genomic and eco-morphological analysis to reveal recent diversification in the Stellera chamaejasme L. complex, driven by Pleistocene glaciation and biotic factors.

Genomic underpinnings of convergent adaptation to high altitudes for alpine plants

This study identifies genomic signatures of convergent adaptation to high altitudes in alpine plants by analyzing reference genomes and gene expression profiles.

Target sequence capture data shed light on the deeper evolutionary relationship on the subgenus Chamaecerasus of Lonicera (Caprifoliaceae)

This study uses target sequence capture data to analyze the evolutionary relationships within the subgenus Chamaecerasus of Lonicera, revealing polyphyly and proposing taxonomic revisions.

Towards a global perspective for Salvia L: Phylogeny, diversification, and floral evolution

This study reconstructs the phylogeny of Salvia and examines the evolution of corolla length and pollination mechanisms, finding high diversification rates in Andean species and no strong link between lever mechanisms and speciation.

Hybridization and introgression are prevalent in Southern European Erysimum (Brassicaceae) species

This study investigates hybridization and introgression in Southern European Erysimum species, finding widespread hybridization and polyploidization as key drivers of their evolution.

Measuring hidden phenotype: Quantifying the shape of barley seeds using the Euler Characteristic Transform

This paper uses the Euler Characteristic Transform to quantify barley seed shape, showing it captures hidden shape features better than traditional methods.

Insights into the drivers of radiating diversification in biodiversity hotspots using Saussurea (Asteraceae) as a case

This study examines factors driving radiating diversification in Saussurea using Miocene to present data, finding increased diversification rates linked to climate fluctuations and adaptive traits.

Migration through a major Andean ecogeographic disruption as a driver of genotypic and phenotypic diversity in a wild tomato species

This study identifies population clusters and genetic barriers in Solanum habrochaites, linking migration through the Amotape-Huancabamba Zone to phenotypic and genotypic diversity.

The Ceratodon purpureus genome uncovers structurally complex, gene rich sex chromosomes

The paper compares genomes of male and female mosses to study sex chromosome evolution, finding gene-rich, non-degenerated UV sex chromosomes.

Plastome phylogenomic study of Gentianeae (Gentianaceae): widespread gene tree discordance and its association with evolutionary rate heterogeneity of plastid genes

This study analyzes plastome sequences from Gentianeae to show gene tree discordance and evolutionary rate heterogeneity among plastid genes, suggesting the need for more nuanced phylogenomic approaches.

Accelerated diversification correlated with functional traits shapes extant diversity of the early divergent angiosperm family Annonaceae

This study investigates diversification patterns in Annonaceae, finding that traits like liana habit and pollinator trapping correlate with higher diversification rates, while pollen aggregation and anther septation are linked to lower rates.
