TL;DR: The most important factors influencing moss bank characteristics and distribution are the location of moss banks on the eastern vs. western side of the island at the macroscale and their favourable aspect at the microscale, providing better microclimatic conditions suitable for their development.

TL;DR: RDP was supported by an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Research Award Fellowship (DE150101720) as discussed by the authors, which was used for early career research at the University of Queensland.

TL;DR: First evidence for the effects of the Ward Line-Mekong-Salween Divide on the phylogeographical structure of this subnival plant species is provided, and the importance of the floristic boundary represented by the MSD is verified.

TL;DR: Generic limits of Chrysophyllum and Pouteria (Chrysophylloideae, Sapotaceae) have been found to be untenable and this work searches for natural lineages in Neotropical Chrysophylloides by sampling 101 species.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that novel evolutionary lineages can rapidly originate via polyploidization in the wild is supported, with tetraploid individuals showing delayed phenology and larger flowers, leaves and stems than diploids.

TL;DR: The paper was presented at the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientificas y Tecnicas (CNI) - Patagonia Norte on 21 March 2016, where it was presented as well as at the ULTIMATE (Universidad del Comahue) on 29 March 2016.

TL;DR: The first well-sampled molecular phylogenetic analysis is presented here, comprising 157 species for which the combined plastid and nuclear maximum likelihood and Bayesian inferences provide a solid backbone for subgeneric delineation in supporting the existence of four major clades.

TL;DR: This book presents a meta-anatomy of plant taxonomy and nature conservation from a perspective of evolutionary biology, ecology and natural history.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multiple independent loci from the nuclear and plastid genomes and representative taxonomic sampling to infer phylogenetic relationships using maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses with single-locus and concatenated data and bayesian multispecies coalescent analyses.

TL;DR: Fil: Brea, Mariana.

TL;DR: An integrative consensus is suggested for the taxonomy of A. formosana that demonstrates the pertinence of infraspecific taxa in integrative taxonomy and phylogeography below the species level.
