The paper critiques a study that used phylogenetic predictions to identify B-vitamin-rich plants, finding that predictions were no better than random due to weak phylogenetic signal and missing data.

The paper introduces randtip, a framework to expand incomplete phylogenies using non-molecular information, but warns that blind expansion often leads to suboptimal results.

This paper compares biodiversity experiments to real-world plant communities and finds that experimental results are robust to the inclusion of unrealistic communities.

This study uses a network approach to analyze how Pleistocene climate change shaped regional species pools of European Carabus beetles, showing that recent climate events had a greater impact than deep-time evolution.
