Phylogenetic reconstruction of the South American genus Leucheria Lag. (Asteraceae, Nassauvieae) based on nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences

The hypothesis that the ancestor of Leucheria would have originated in a forested habitat is examined and the validity of nine morphologically defined evolutionary lines recognized in earlier work on the genus is examined.

Phylogenetic reconstruction of the genus Triptilion (Asteraceae, Nassauvieae) based on nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences

The results of the life history reconstructions indicate that the common ancestor of Triptilion and Nassauvia was perennial, and the annual habit appears to be derived in Triptillion.

Multiple continental radiations and correlates of diversification in Lupinus (Leguminosae): testing for key innovation with incomplete taxon sampling.

Bayesian ancestral state reconstructions and BiSSE likelihood analyses of correlated diversification indicated that increased rates of speciation are strongly associated with the derived evolution of perennial life history and invasion of montane ecosystems.

Integrating historical biogeography and environmental niche evolution to understand the geographic distribution of Datureae.

The expansion of Datureae into North America was associated with niche conservatism, with dispersal into similarly dry areas as occupied by the ancestral lineage, and subsequent niche evolution, including the apparent shift to a mesic niche in Brugmansia, diversified the range of habitats occupied by species in the tribe DatureAE but also led to significant niche overlap among the three genera.

Phylogeny, Classification, and Character Evolution of Acalypha (Euphorbiaceae: Acalyphoideae)

Bayesian ancestral state estimations based on the phylogeny of Acalypha demonstrated that inflorescence position and sexuality and habit show high homoplasy, especially within A. Acalyphoideae, and that inflorescent position and habit exhibit correlated evolution.

Convergent evolution of the annual life history syndrome from perennial ancestors

This work reviews what is known about the distribution of annuals in both phylogenetic and environmental space and assess the evidence for parallel evolution of annuality through similar physiological, developmental, and/or genetic mechanisms and suggests future directions for understanding annual-perennial transitions in other groups of plants.

From annuals to perennials: phylogeny of subtribe Castillejinae (Orobanchaceae).

Molecular phylogenetic analysis suggests that the perennial habit evolved a single time from an annual ancestral lineage that persisted throughout the diversification of Castillejinae, contrary to classical interpretations of life history evolution in plants.

Systematics of Downingia (Campanulaceae) based on Molecular Sequence Data: Implications for Floral and Chromosome Evolution

Phylogenetic analyses of molecular sequence data from the nuclear 18S–26S rDNA internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) and the chloroplast 3’ trnK intron indicate Downingia is monophyletic, and suggests the current circumscriptions of some species, notably D. yina, need further examination.

Phylogenetic relationships among species of Hypochaeris (Asteraceae, Cichorieae) based on ITS, plastid trnL intron, trnL-F spacer, and matK sequences.

Monophyly of species of Hypochaeris from South America is strongly supported by both ITS and the joint matrix of ITS, trnL, and matK data, and low levels of sequence divergence among South American taxa suggest a pattern of rapid speciation, in contrast to much greater divergence among European representatives.

Multistate characters and diet shifts: evolution of Erotylidae (Coleoptera).

Analysis of diet mapped onto higher beetle phylogenies suggests that about half of the major Coleoptera lineages may have had fungus-feeding ancestors, and the roles of stochastic models and prior distributions of the reconstruction of ancestral character states are discussed.

Molecular phylogenetics reveals Leontodon (Asteraceae, Lactuceae) to be diphyletic.

Phylogenetic relationships inferred from the independent and combined data are largely congruent and reveal that Leontodon sensu lato (s.l.) as presently defined is diphyletic: L. leontodon forms a clade with Helminthotheca, Picris and Hypochaeris as sister genera, whereas L. subgenus Oporinia is better treated as a separate genus.

Molecular phylogeny of the genus Hypochaeris using internal transcribed spacers of nuclear rDNA: inference for chromosomal evolution.

The ITS phylogenetic tree suggests that karyotype evolution in Hypochaeris was accompanied with both decreasing and increasing dysploidy, probably with several chromosomal rearrangements, and from an ancestral basic chromosome number of 4 or 5.

A phylogenetic analysis of Doronicum (Asteraceae, Senecioneae) based on morphological, nuclear ribosomal (ITS), and chloroplast (trnL-F) evidence.

It is argued that the morphological data set contains poor phylogenetic signal and advocate simultaneous analysis of the three data sets (total evidence approach) so that morphological characters are tested for homology by congruence with molecular data.

Climate and the evolution of annual/perennial life-histories in Nemesia (Scrophulariaceae)

A phylogeny of 23 Nemesia species is reconstructed using nucleotide sequences of the ITS, ETS and trnL-spacer regions, suggesting at least three separate origins of the annual habit from plants with a perennial life history.

PHYLOGENETICS OF THE GRASS GENUS EHRHARTA: EVIDENCE FOR RADIATION IN THE SUMMER‐ARID ZONE OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN CAPE

Testing whether the comparatively high diversity of ehrharteoid grasses in the Cape region of South Africa is the result of rapid radiation associated with the onset of a seasonally arid climate during the late Miocene suggests it is, and suggests the potential importance of environmental change in powering diversification in continental floras.
