Journal ArticleDOI
Brazilian Flora 2020: Innovation and collaboration to meet Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC)
TL;DR: The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) was established by the Conference of Parties in 2002 todecrease the loss of plant diversity, reduce poverty and contribute to sustainable development as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Historical biogeography of two cosmopolitan families of flowering plants: Annonaceae and Rhamnaceae.
TL;DR: In both groups, long-distance dispersal appears to have played a more significant role in establishing modern patterns than had previously been assumed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new subfamilial and tribal classification of the pantropical flowering plant family Annonaceae informed by molecular phylogenetics
Lars W. Chatrou,Michael D. Pirie,Roy H. J. Erkens,Roy H. J. Erkens,Thomas L. P. Couvreur,Kurt M. Neubig,J. Richard Abbott,Johan B. Mols,Jan W. Maas,Richard M. K. Saunders,Mark W. Chase +10 more
TL;DR: A robust family-wide phylogenetic tree and subsequent classification of Annonaceae is presented, for the first time, using a supermatrix of up to eight plastid markers sequenced from 193 ingroup and seven outgroup species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early evolutionary history of the flowering plant family Annonaceae: Steady diversification and boreotropical geodispersal
Thomas L. P. Couvreur,Michael D. Pirie,Lars W. Chatrou,Richard M. K. Saunders,Yvonne C. F. Su,James E. Richardson,James E. Richardson,Roy H. J. Erkens +7 more
TL;DR: The pantropical plant family Annonaceae is used to test hypotheses that might explain diversification and distribution patterns in tropical biota: the museum hypothesis (low extinction leading to steady accumulation of species); and dispersal between Africa and Asia via Indian rafting versus boreotropical geodispersal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic treasure troves: complete genome sequencing of herbarium and insect museum specimens.
Martijn Staats,Roy H. J. Erkens,Roy H. J. Erkens,Bart T. L. H. van de Vossenberg,Jan J. Wieringa,Ken Kraaijeveld,B. Stielow,József Geml,James E. Richardson,James E. Richardson,Freek T. Bakker +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that using a standard multiplex and paired-end Illumina sequencing approach, genome-scale sequence data can be generated reliably from dry-preserved plant, fungal and insect specimens collected up to 115 years ago, and with minimal destructive sampling.
