The paper uses dual-hybridisation probes to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships in Sauvagesieae, finding evidence of polyploidisation and hybridisation affecting tree resolution.

This study examines evolutionary rate covariation between mitochondrial and nuclear-encoded OXPHOS genes in papilionoid legumes, finding accelerated substitution rates and relaxed purifying selection in a 50-kb inversion clade.

This study models potential aboveground biomass in the Caatinga, finding it highly sensitive to water availability and topography, with high biomass in rugged terrains and under specific precipitation thresholds.

The paper uses phylogenetic analysis to show keel flowers evolved multiple times in legumes but did not drive diversification alone, suggesting synergistic factors like nitrogen fixation and dispersal were more important.
