Phylogeny and biogeography of the sandalwoods (Santalum, Santalaceae): repeated dispersals throughout the Pacific.
TL;DR: Results of the first genus-wide phylogenetic analysis for Santalum (Santalaceae), using a combination of 18S-26S nuclear ribosomal (ITS, ETS) and chloroplast (3' trnK intron) DNA sequences, provide new perspectives on relationships and biogeographic patterns among the widespread and economically important sandalwoods.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Lineage‐Based Tribal Classification of the Family Caryophyllaceae
Danica T. Harbaugh,Molly Nepokroeff,Richard K. Rabeler,John McNeill,Elizabeth A. Zimmer,Warren L. Wagner +5 more
TL;DR: The phylogenies reveal that the closest relatives to Schiedea are a pair of widespread, largely Arctic taxa, Honckenya peploides and Wilhelmsia physodes, and are not reflective of natural groups; this study proposes abandoning this classification in favor of a new system that recognizes major lineages of the molecular phylogeny at the tribal level.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Hawaiian Archipelago is a stepping stone for dispersal in the Pacific: an example from the plant genus Melicope (Rutaceae)
TL;DR: These data demonstrate a shifting paradigm of Pacific oceanic island biogeography, in which the patterns of long-distance dispersal and colonization in the Pacific are more dynamic than previously thought, and suggest that the Hawaiian Islands may act as a stepping stone for dispersal throughout the Pacific.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyploid and Hybrid Origins of Pacific Island Sandalwoods (Santalum, Santalaceae) Inferred from Low‐Copy Nuclear and Flow Cytometry Data
TL;DR: This study provides novel evidence for the role of polyploidy in plant colonization throughout the Pacific Islands by finding more than twice as many long‐distance island colonizations from polyploids as from diploid ancestors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Structure of the Polymorphic Metrosideros (Myrtaceae) Complex in the Hawaiian Islands Using Nuclear Microsatellite Data
TL;DR: The results suggest that Hawaiian Metrosideros have dynamic gene flow, with genetic and morphological diversity structured not simply by geography or taxonomy, but as a result of parallel evolution on islands following rampant island-island dispersal, in addition to ancient chloroplast capture.
