TLDR
Molecular data presented in this study showed that C. pyramidalis is a polyphyletic assemblage that segregates into three distinct lineages, one of which is described here as a new species, C. austroadriatica sp.Abstract:
The Campanula pyramidalis complex is a group of closely related taxa with a distribution across the Balkans, from the Gulf of Trieste in the north to the Peloponnese Peninsula in the south, with small disjunct parts of the range in the south Apennines. Although 21 taxa were described within this complex, only three, C. pyramidalis, C. versicolor, and C. secundiflora, have been generally accepted in recent synoptical taxonomic treatments. Our molecular phylogenetic analyses based on sequences of three non-coding chloroplast regions (psbA-trnH, psbZ-trnfM, trnG-trnS) as well as of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (nrITS), lend strong support to the recognition of several lineages which only partially correspond to generally accepted taxonomic concepts. Molecular data presented in this study showed that C. pyramidalis is a polyphyletic assemblage that segregates into three distinct lineages, one of which is described here as a new species, C. austroadriatica sp. nov. The lectotype of C. pyramidalis, redefined in a strict sense, is designated. Neither C. versicolor nor C. secundiflora were found to be strictly monophyletic, but their monophyly could not be rejected. Morphological and biogeographical implications are discussed.read more

Escaping to the summits: phylogeography and predicted range dynamics of Cerastium dinaricum, an endangered high mountain plant endemic to the western Balkan Peninsula.
Denis Kutnjak,Michael Kuttner,Marjan Niketić,Stefan Dullinger,Peter Schönswetter,Božo Frajman +5 more
TL;DR: Field observations revealed that Cerastium dinaricum is rarer than previously assumed and severely endangered by global warming as viable habitat was predicted to be reduced by more than 70% by the year 2080.

Testing the efficiency of nested barriers to dispersal in the Mediterranean high mountain plant Edraianthus graminifolius (Campanulaceae).
TL;DR: The three genetic groups in the western Balkan Peninsula were remarkably congruent among molecular markers, suggesting that the barriers to gene flow acted over long time periods facilitating allopatric differentiation.

Molecular and morphological revision of the Allium saxatile group (Amaryllidaceae): geographical isolation as the driving force of underestimated speciation
TL;DR: A morphological and molecular revision of the group, a thorough nomenclatural study of available names and the reconstruction of possible phylogenetic relationships in the A.’saxatile group are studied.

Improved genome assembly and pan-genome provide key insights into eggplant domestication and breeding
Lorenzo Barchi,Mark Timothy Rabanus-Wallace,Jaime Prohens,Laura Toppino,Sudharsan Padmarasu,Ezio Portis,Giuseppe Leonardo Rotino,Nils Stein,Nils Stein,Sergio Lanteri,Giovanni Giuliano +10 more
TL;DR: The authors obtained a highly contiguous genome assembly of the eggplant '67/3' reference line, by Hi-C retrofitting of a previously released short read and optical mapping-based assembly.

Confidence limits on phylogenies: an approach using the bootstrap.
TL;DR: The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.
