Synchronizing speciation, extinction, and dispersal to island paleodynamics through Bayesian phylogenetics in a Hawaiian plant radiation

Isaac H. Lichter‐Marck, Sarah Swiston, Fábio K. Mendes, Michael R. May, Suman Neupane, Bruce G. Baldwin, Ken R. Wood, Nina Rønsted, Warren L. Wagner, Felipe Zapata, Michael J. Landis

The paper introduces a Bayesian phylogenetic framework to infer divergence times, ancestral ranges, and diversification rates in Hawaiian plants without fossil calibration.

Rampant convergent evolution of vascular oddities and a synnovation characterize the rapid radiation of Paullinieae lianas

Israel L. Cunha Neto, Zachary Kozma, Isaac H. Lichter‐Marck, Pedro Acevedo‐Rodríguez, Joyce G. Onyenedum

This study investigates the evolution of vascular variants in Paullinieae lianas, finding that while these traits are diverse and recurrent, they do not drive diversification, which instead correlates with climbing habits, tendrils, and zygomorphic flowers.

Phylogenomics of the North American Desert Radiation Linanthus (Polemoniaceae) Reveals Mixed Trait Lability and No Single Geographic Mode of Speciation

Ioana G. Anghel, Lydia L. Smith, Isaac H. Lichter‐Marck, Felipe Zapata

This study uses genomic data to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Linanthus species, revealing complex speciation patterns and trait evolution in arid environments.
