The Mediterranean Basin harbors a remarkable amount of biodiversity, a high proportion of which is endemic to this region. Here, we present an in‐depth study of an angiosperm species complex, in which cryptic taxonomic diversity has been hypothesized. Specifically, we focus on four currently recognized species in the Roucela complex, a well‐supported clade in the Campanulaceae/Campanuloideae: Campanula creutzburgii, C. drabifolia, C. erinus, and C. simulans. This study takes a phylogenomic…

Allele Sorting as a Novel Approach to Resolving the Origin of Allotetraploids Using Hyb-Seq Data: A Case Study of the Balkan Mountain Endemic Cardamine barbaraeoides
TLDR
An allopolyploid origin was inferred for C. barbaraeoides, which highlights the role of mountains in the Balkan Peninsula both as refugia and melting pots favoring species contacts and polyploid evolution in response to Pleistocene climate-induced range dynamics.
Genetic similarities versus morphological resemblance: Unraveling a polyploid complex in a Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot.
Phylogenomic analyses reveal a deep history of hybridization and polyploidy in the Neotropical genus Lachemilla (Rosaceae).
TLDR
This work uses sequence capture data and multiple species tree and species network approaches to resolve the backbone phylogeny of the Neotropical genus Lachemilla, and shows the necessity to use phylogenetic network approaches that can simultaneously accommodate incomplete lineage sorting and gene flow when studying groups that show patterns of reticulation.
A Phylogenomic Perspective on Evolution and Discordance in the Alpine-Arctic Plant Clade Micranthes (Saxifragaceae)
TLDR
It is demonstrated that a thorough assessment of discordance can be a source of evidence for evolutionary processes that were not adequately captured by a bifurcating tree model, and helped to clarify processes that have structured the evolution of Micranthes.
Multiple Drivers of High Species Diversity and Endemism Among Alyssum Annuals in the Mediterranean: The Evolutionary Significance of the Aegean Hotspot
TLDR
This study investigates the evolution of European representatives of the monophyletic lineage of Alyssum annuals, and suggests scenarios of more complex speciation processes that involved repeated range shifts in response to sea-level changes and recurrent land connections and disconnections since the Pliocene.
Discordance in a South African Memecylon Clade (Melastomataceae): Evidence for Reticulate Evolution
TLDR
No evidence of monophyly for species within the South African Memecylon clade is found, which is infer to be the consequence of reticulation and recent and rapid evolution.
Bridging the micro- and macroevolutionary levels in phylogenomics: Hyb-Seq solves relationships from populations to species and above.
TLDR
It is shown that probes designed using genomic resources from taxa not directly related to the focal group are effective in providing phylogenetic resolution at deep and shallow evolutionary levels.
Resolving species boundaries in a recent radiation with the Angiosperms353 probe set: the Lomatium packardiae/L. anomalum clade of the L. triternatum (Apiaceae) complex
TLDR
The results suggest that these groups are in the process of incipient speciation and incomplete lineage sorting has been a major barrier to resolving boundaries within this lineage previously.
Diversification and independent polyploid origins in the disjunct species Alyssum repens from the Southeastern Alps and the Carpathians.
TLDR
Investigating the species' genetic and cytotype structure in the context of its distribution patterns inferred a vicariance scenario associated with Quaternary climatic oscillations, accompanied by one auto- and two allopolyploidization events most likely involving a northern Balkan relative.
Phylogenetic analyses confirm polyphyly of the genus Campanula (Campanulaceae s. str.), leading to a proposal for generic reappraisal
TLDR
The molecular phylogeny of the tribe Campanuleae is closely correlated with morphology, particularly pollen morphology: clade A with pollen 3‐porate and capsule dehiscent mostly by basal pores; and clade B with pollen mostly 4 (5–15)‐ corporate and capsuleDehiscent most by apical‐middle pores.

How to Handle Speciose Clades? Mass Taxon-Sampling as a Strategy towards Illuminating the Natural History of Campanula (Campanuloideae)
TLDR
A short genomic region with high phylogenetic utility allowed this work to easily generate a comprehensive phylogenetic framework for the speciose Campanula clade and recovered 17 well-supported and circumscribed sub-lineages.
Evolution and biogeography of the endemic Roucela complex (Campanulaceae: Campanula) in the Eastern Mediterranean
TLDR
The diversity and complexity of historical processes driving plant evolution in the Mediterranean Basin is highlighted, with geologic events such as the formation of the mid‐Aegean trench and the Messinian Salinity Crisis found to be historically important in the evolutionary history of this group.
Phylogeny of Campanuloideae (Campanulaceae) with Emphasis on the Utility of Nuclear Pentatricopeptide Repeat (PPR) Genes
TLDR
This study represents the first inclusion of low-copy nuclear genes for phylogenetic reconstruction in Campanuloideae and reveals potential hybridization events for a number of taxa as well as obtaining support for the placement of two early diverging lineages that have previously been unresolved.
A global perspective on Campanulaceae: Biogeographic, genomic, and floral evolution.
TLDR
Ancestral range estimation supports an out-of-Africa diversification following the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event, and Morphological reconstructions support the hypothesis that switches in floral symmetry and anther dehiscence were important in the evolution of secondary pollen presentation mechanisms.
Concordance trees, concordance factors, and the exploration of reticulate genealogy
TLDR
It is argued that a primary concordance tree, a tree built from clades that are true of a plurality of the genome, provides a useful summary of the dominant phylogenetic history for a group of organisms.
Species delimitation: new approaches for discovering diversity.
  • J. Wiens
  • Environmental Science, Biology

  • 2007
TLDR
An increased interest in species delimitation has arisen because of growing concern over threats to biodiversity and the desire to describe as many species as possible as quickly and accurately as possible before they disappear.
A target enrichment method for gathering phylogenetic information from hundreds of loci: An example from the Compositae1
TLDR
An approach that enables the rapid sequencing of large numbers of orthologous nuclear loci to facilitate efficient phylogenomic analyses and the successful reconstruction of known phylogenetic relationships across the Compositae is described.
SELF‐COMPATIBILITY AND ESTABLISHMENT AFTER ‘“LONG‐DISTANCE” DISPERSAL
TLDR
The absence of Anoplura as primary infestants of South American land mammals seems to show that the sucking lice, as a group, originated at the earliest during the very late Mesozoic, if not at the beginning of the Tertiary.
MarkerMiner 1.0: A new application for phylogenetic marker development using angiosperm transcriptomes1
TLDR
MarkerMiner is an easy-to-use and effective tool for discovery of putative SCN loci and its tabular and alignment outputs facilitate efficient downstream assessments of phylogenetic utility, locus selection, intron-exon boundary prediction, and primer or probe development.
Extensive Rearrangements in the Chloroplast Genome of Trachelium caeruleum Are Associated with Repeats and tRNA Genes
TLDR
The Trachelium chloroplast genome shares with Pelargonium and Jasminum both a higher number of repeats and larger repeated sequences in comparison to eight other angiosperm chloropleft genomes, and these are concentrated near rearrangement endpoints.
