Polyploid Incidence and Evolution

Sarah P. Otto, +1 more
- 01 Jan 2000 - 
TL;DR: New estimates for the incidence of polyploidy in ferns and flowering plants are presented based on a simple model describing transitions between odd and even base chromosome numbers, and it is indicated that ploidy changes may represent from 2 to 4% of speciation events in flowering plants and 7% in f Ferns.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Evolutionary Consequences of Polyploidy

Sarah P. Otto
- 02 Nov 2007 - 
TL;DR: This Review examines the short-term effects of polyploidization on cell size, body size, genomic stability, and gene expression and the long- term effects on rates of evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimating a binary character's effect on speciation and extinction.

Wayne P. Maddison, +2 more
- 01 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: This work describes how to calculate the probability that a group of extant species would have evolved as observed, given a particular model of the character's effect, under a simple model of evolution (the "BiSSE model, binary-state speciation and extinction).
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex Determination: Why So Many Ways of Doing It?

Doris Bachtrog, +13 more
- 01 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: The current understanding of how and why sex determination evolves in animals and plants is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TRY plant trait database : Enhanced coverage and open access

Jens Kattge, +754 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: The extent of the trait data compiled in TRY is evaluated and emerging patterns of data coverage and representativeness are analyzed to conclude that reducing data gaps and biases in the TRY database remains a key challenge and requires a coordinated approach to data mobilization and trait measurements.
