Early Cretaceous Origin and Evolutionary History of Palms (Arecaceae) inferred from 1,033 Nuclear Genes and a New Synthesis of Fossil Evidence Open
Tropical rainforests are home to almost half of all known plant diversity, yet a shortfall in tropical plant phylogenetic hypotheses is hindering our understanding of how rainforests have formed and adapted to past global changes. Phylogen…

Genomic incongruence accompanies the evolution of flower symmetry in Eudicots: a case study in the poppy family (Papaveraceae, Ranunculales) Open
Reconstructing evolutionary trajectories and transitions that have shaped floral diversity relies heavily on the phylogenetic framework on which traits are modelled. In this study, we focus on the angiosperm order Ranunculales, sister to a…
