Clonal longevity and the enigmatic flowering of woody bamboos are associated with rates of protein evolution Open
Rates of protein evolution ( d N / d S ) vary widely across the tree of life. In plants, both life‐history traits and GC‐biased gene conversion (gBGC) are thought to contribute to this variation, although disentangling their individual con…

Genome duplications, genomic conflict, and rapid phenotypic evolution characterize the Cretaceous radiation of Fagales Open
While many plant lineages display remarkable diversity in morphological form, our understanding of how phenotypic diversity, or disparity, arises in relation to genomic evolution over geologic scales remains poorly understood. Here, we inv…
