Jin et al. use molecular analyses and morphological examination to understand the evolutionary divergence and establishment patterns of a Korean endemic shrub.
Quaternary glaciations strongly affected the distribution of species from arid and semi-arid environments, as temperature drops were accompanied by strong fluctuations in rainfall. In this study, Ossa and colleagues...
The Neotropical savanna fruiting tree species, Hancornia speciosa (Apocynaceae) has high social and economic importance in Brazil. Originally classified as six botanical varieties, more recently only two have been...
Cyclic glaciations were frequent throughout the Quaternary and this affected species distribution and population differentiation worldwide. Combining ecological niche modelling and phylogeographical analysis, this study...
Revealing patterns of evolutionary assembly in the Sino-Japanese Floristic Region (SJFR), Yang et al. assess genetic structure and phylogenetic relationships, and reconstruct ancestral sites for Cardiocrinum...
Souza et al. investigate the role of Pleistocene climate changes in driving the geographic distribution and genetic diversity of Dimorphandra mollis, a tree species endemic to the Cerrado, the largest Neotropical...
The phylogeography, the study of the spatial and temporal history of a species, remains largely unclear for plant species in sub-tropical China. Zhang et al. use Tapiscia sinensis, an endemic tree species, as a model to...
