Hybridisation and herbivory fuel Amazonian tree radiations

Rowan Schley, Alex D. Twyford, María‐José Endara…·R. Toby Pennington

This study shows hybridisation enables Amazonian trees to rapidly evolve chemical defences against herbivores, driving diversification in response to shifting herbivore communities.

The frequency and importance of polyploidy in tropical rainforest tree radiations

Rowan Schley, Rosalía Piñeiro, James A. Nicholls…·Alex D. Twyford

This study examines polyploidy in Inga species, finding tetraploidy in 14% of sequenced species and increased selection in chemical defence loci in polyploids.

A highly contiguous, scaffold-level nuclear genome assembly for the Fever tree (Cinchona pubescens Vahl) as a novel resource for research in the Rubiaceae

Nataly Allasi Canales, Oscar Alejandro Pérez-Escobar, Robyn Faye Powell…·Alexandre Antonelli

The paper presents the first highly contiguous nuclear and organelle genome assemblies for C. pubescens, enabling research on alkaloid biosynthesis and evolutionary relationships within the Rubiaceae family.
