Molecular Analysis of Phylogenetic Relationships among Myrmecophytic Macaranga Species (Euphorbiaceae)

TL;DR: A molecular investigation of the plant partners' phylogeny of the Macaranga-Crematogaster system suggests multiple rather than a single evolutionary origin of myrmecophytism, at least one reversal from obligate myrmicine genus Crem atogaster to nonmyrmecoptera, and one loss of mutualistic specifity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybridization, polyploidy, and the evolution of sexual systems in mercurialis (euphorbiaceae)

TL;DR: Nuclear and plastid gene trees are used, in conjunction with morphological data and genome size measurements, to show that both processes have been important in shaping the evolution of the angiosperm genus Mercurialis, particularly a clade of annual lineages that shows exceptional variation in the sexual system.
Journal ArticleDOI

A chloroplast genealogy of myrmecophytic Macaranga species (Euphorbiaceae) in Southeast Asia reveals hybridization, vicariance and long‐distance dispersals

TL;DR: A large‐scale chloroplast genealogy is constructed based on DNA sequence data from the noncoding ccmp2, ccmp6, and atpB‐rbcL regions for 144 individuals from 41 Macaranga species, covering all major evolutionary lineages within the three sections that contain myrmecophytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of myrmecophytism in western Malesian Macaranga (Euphorbiaceae).

TL;DR: Several morphological, ecological, and biogeographic factors appear to have facilitated and constrained this radiation of ant‐plants in Macaranga.
