TL;DR: Factors that affect rarity of N. maculata in Ireland are investigated by comparing Irish populations with those found in Italy, where it is more common, and AFLP markers revealed that Irish and Italian populations have similar genetic diversity and are distinct from each other.

TL;DR: The additional data presented here strengthen the case for including Uvulariaceae in Colchicaceae and Calochortaceae in Liliaceae, and the number of families in the order from nine to eleven.

TL;DR: The results indicate a high potential for divergence with gene flow in inselberg bromeliads and they provide base-line data about the long-term effects of fragmentation in plants.

TL;DR: The evolution of early stages of intrinsic postmating isolation among different populations and lineages of Epidendrum denticulatum, a Neotropical orchid distributed across different biomes in South America, is investigated to confirm the importance of phylogeographic studies associated with reproductive isolation experiments and suggest an important role for outbreeding depression during the early stages.

TL;DR: Plastid DNA data can be used to gain an understanding of patterns of genetic variation and seed-mediated gene flow in orchids and support the hypothesis of long-distance seed dispersal often proposed for orchIDS.
