Sedge genera of the world: Relationships and a new classification of the Cyperaceae
- J. Bruhl
- Biology, Environmental Science

A suprageneric classification of the Cyperaceae is proposed, in which the genera are explicitly assigned to twelve tribes and two subfamilies, thus greatly facilitating comparisons among alternative classificatory solutions.
Phylogeny of Cyperaceae based on DNA sequence data - a new rbcL analysis
- D. Simpson, A. M. Muasya, Xiufu Zhang
- Biology
- 2007
A parsimony analysis was carried out using all rbcL sequences currently available for Cyperaceae, including data for two new genera, with one outcome may be that only two subfamilies, Mapanioideae and Cyperoideae, are recognized.
Molecular dating of Winteraceae reveals a complex biogeographical history involving both ancient Gondwanan vicariance and long‐distance dispersal

The estimated age of Takhtajania is consistent with its origin in Madagascar as a result of Gondwanan vicariance – the only angiosperm for which this has been demonstrated with confidence.
The pollination of Trimenia moorei (Trimeniaceae): floral volatiles, insect/wind pollen vectors and stigmatic self-incompatibility in a basal angiosperm.

The structural analyses of pollen-carpel interactions indicate that T. moorei has a trichome-rich dry- type stigma with an early-acting self-incompatibility (SI) system, the first species within the ANITA group, and second within reilictual-basal angiosperm lineages, to exhibit stigmatic SI in combination with dry-type stigma and bicellular pollen.
Radiation and repeated transoceanic dispersal of Schoeneae (Cyperaceae) through the southern hemisphere.

In Schoeneae, transoceanic dispersal has been remarkably frequent, with ecological opportunity, rather than geography, being most important in dictating dispersal patterns.
Towards a Comprehensive Survey of C3 and C4 Photosynthetic Pathways in Cyperaceae
Photosynthetic pathway was found to be a useful taxonomic marker in Cyperaceae, despite variability in this trait at various taxonomic levels and the apparently multiple origin of C 4 photosynthesis within the family.
Molecular phylogenetics of Oreobolus (Cyperaceae) and the origin and diversification of the American species

The results support the monophyly of the South American species with the southern O. obtusangulus as sister to the rest, and the transformed branch lengths of the ITS tree indicate a recent (5.5–6 mya) origin of theSouth American clade, followed by a northward migration and diversification of species along the Andes.

Cypsela anatomy in the ‘Cotuleae’ (Asteraceae–Anthemideae)
The data support the conclusion that the ‘Cotuleae’ is an unnatural assemblage: Cotula, Leptinella, Nananthea and Soliva appear to form one close-knit group, and Dimorphocoma, Elachanthus and Isoetopsis another, while the remaining genera are highly diverse.
A global review of the ecological significance of symbiotic associations between birds and fungi

- Environmental ScienceFungal diversity
- 1 September 2019
This manuscript is the first to review a wide range of symbiotic associations between birds and fungi, compiling the largest list to date of bird species reported to eat fungi and follow up with a discussion of these symbioses.
