Journal ArticleDOI
Reticulate evolution on a global scale: a nuclear phylogeny for New World Dryopteris (Dryopteridaceae).
TL;DR: The data support a classic hypothesis for reticulate evolution via allopolyploid speciation in the North America taxa, including an extinct diploid progenitor in this group, and reject deep coalescent processes such as incomplete lineage sorting in favor of more recent intercontinental hybridization and chloroplast capture.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Paraphyly of Osmunda is Confirmed by Phylogenetic Analyses of Seven Plastid Loci
TL;DR: A stable, well-supported classification for extant Osmundaceae is proposed, along with a key to all genera and subgenera, and finds that subg.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematics of holometabolous insect orders based on 18S ribosomal RNA.
TL;DR: Parsimony analyses resolved relationships in a few groups but left the most controversial questions regarding relationships among major lineages unresolved, and all analyses supported a clade with Lepidoptera and Trichoptera as sister taxa most closely related to Diptera.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chloroplast phylogenomics of the New World grape species (Vitis, Vitaceae)
Jun Wen,Aj Harris,Yash Kalburgi,Ning Zhang,Yuan Xu,Wei Zheng,Stefanie M. Ickert-Bond,Gabriel Johnson,Elizabeth A. Zimmer +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employed sequence data from whole plastomes to attempt to enhance Vitis phylogenetic resolution, and the results support the New World Vitis subgenus Vitis as monophyletic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unraveling reticulate evolution in North American Dryopteris (Dryopteridaceae)
TL;DR: This study demonstrates the value of using multiple, biparentally inherited markers to evaluate reticulate complexes, assess the frequency of recurrent polyploidization, and determine the relative importance of introgression vs. hybridization in shaping the histories of such groups.
