This study uses herbarium specimens to analyze genetic variation in Lygodium japonicum during its invasion of North America, identifying Asia as the source and finding evidence of rapid adaptation and reduced non-coding diversity.

This study tests hypotheses about factors driving invasion success in non-native ferns, finding no phylogenetic clustering, conserved climatic niches, smaller genomes in naturalized ferns, and higher ploidal levels in invaders.

The paper presents a near chromosome-level genome assembly for Centaurea melitensis, revealing structural variation and gene content.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale reference genome for Pectocarya recurvata, revealing a small genome size and potential autotetraploid origin.
