Journal ArticleDOI

A DNA barcode for land plants.

Peter M. Hollingsworth, +55 more
TL;DR: The 2-locus combination of rbcL+matK will provide a universal framework for the routine use of DNA sequence data to identify specimens and contribute toward the discovery of overlooked species of land plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid diversification of a species-rich genus of neotropical rain forest trees

TL;DR: It is estimated that speciation was concentrated in the past 10 million years, with many species arising as recently as 2 million years ago, which coincides with the more recent major uplifts of the Andes, the bridging of the Isthmus of Panama, and Quaternary glacial cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selecting barcoding loci for plants: evaluation of seven candidate loci with species-level sampling in three divergent groups of land plants.

TL;DR: Evaluated the seven main candidate plastid regions in three divergent groups of land plants, no single locus showed high levels of universality and resolvability and when multiple loci were combined, fewer barcodes were shared among species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Páramo is the world’s fastest evolving and coolest biodiversity hotspot

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that average net diversification rates of Páramo plant lineages are faster than those of other reportedly fast evolving hotspots and that the faster evolving lineage are more likely to be found in P €ramos than the other hotspots.
