TL;DR: The classification of the legume family proposed here addresses the long-known non-monophyly of the traditionally recognised subfamily Caesalpinioideae, by recognising six robustly supported monophyletic subfamilies and reflects the phylogenetic structure that is consistently resolved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic position and revised classification of Acacia s.l. (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) in Africa, including new combinations in Vachellia and Senegalia
Bruce Kyalangalilwa,James S. Boatwright,Barnabas H. Daru,Olivier Maurin,Michelle van der Bank +4 more
TL;DR: A molecular phylogenetic study of Acacia s.l and close relatives occurring in Africa was conducted using sequence data from matK/trnK, trnL-trnF and psbA-trNH with the aim of determining the placement of the African species in the new generic system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Causes of Plant Diversification in the Cape Biodiversity Hotspot of South Africa
Jan Schnitzler,Jan Schnitzler,Timothy G. Barraclough,Timothy G. Barraclough,James S. Boatwright,Peter Goldblatt,John C. Manning,Martyn P. Powell,Tony G. Rebelo,Vincent Savolainen,Vincent Savolainen +10 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the combination of complex environmental conditions together with relative climatic stability promoted high speciation and/or low extinction rates as the most likely scenario leading to present-day patterns of hyperdiversity in the Cape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstructing the deep-branching relationships of the papilionoid legumes
Domingos Cardoso,R. T. Pennington,L. P. de Queiroz,James S. Boatwright,B.-E. Van Wyk,Martin F. Wojciechowski,Matt Lavin +6 more
TL;DR: The present matK phylogeny resolves the deep-branching relationships of the papilionoids with increased support for many clades, and suggests that taxonomic realignments of some genera and of numerous tribes are necessary.
