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

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Great American Biotic Interchange in frogs: Multiple and early colonization of Central America by the South American genus Pristimantis (Anura: Craugastoridae)

TL;DR: A molecular phylogenetic analysis of the frog genus Pristimantis based on 189 individuals of 137 species, including 71 individuals of 31 species from Panama and Colombia, finds that the resulting phylogenetic hypothesis showed statistically significant conflict with most recognized taxonomic groups within Pristamantis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drought Tolerance in Wild Plant Populations: The Case of Common Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

TL;DR: It is proposed that wild common bean should be taken into account to exploit variation for drought tolerance in cultivated common bean which is generally considered susceptible as a crop to drought stress.
