Unravelling complex hybrid and polyploid evolutionary relationships using phylogenetic placement of paralogs from target enrichment data

This paper develops a method to analyze hybrid and polyploid evolutionary relationships using phylogenetic placement of paralogs from target enrichment data, showing its ability to detect hybridization and polyploidization events.

Boechera or not? Genomic insights and taxonomic reassessment of the misclassified Asian species B. calcarea (Brassicaceae)

This study reclassifies B. calcarea from Boechera to Parryodes, revealing its placement in an ancestral clade of Arabideae through cytogenetic, phylogenetic, and repeatome analyses.

Specimen-tailored "lived" climate reveals precipitation onset and amount best predict specimen phenology, but only weakly predict estimated reproduction across a clade

The paper uses herbarium specimens to reconstruct climate conditions and assess their impact on phenology and reproduction across a plant clade, finding precipitation onset and amount best predict phenology but weakly predict reproduction.

Complete pan-plastome sequences enable high resolution phylogenetic classification of sugar beet and closely related crop wild relatives

The paper sequences and assembles complete plastome genomes from 18 beet species to resolve their phylogenetic relationships with high resolution.
