A new view is emerging of the interplay between mutation at the genomic level, substitution at the population level, and diversification at the lineage level. Many studies have suggested that rate of
Among liverworts, the epiphytic lifestyle is not only present in leafy forms but also in thalloid liverworts, which so far has received little attention in evolutionary and biogeographical studies. Me
Here we apply next generation sequencing methods in order to further our understanding of how abiotic processes have shaped the evolution of Cristaria (Malvaceae), one of the most species-rich genera
We conducted a common garden comparison over two years to determine how different fitness correlates (plant volume, plant mass and estimated seed number) of the newly formed allopolyploid species Sals
