Ecology affects each of the three principal processes leading to speciation: genetic
differentiation among populations within species, acquisition of reproductive isolation …

Knowledge of the dispersal mechanisms used by plants is important in phylogenetic,
ecological, biogeographical, and conservation studies. Here we attempt to assign dispersal …

Aim To evaluate competing views on the origin and distribution of the New Zealand flora by
testing the hypothesis that the geographical distribution of species is unrelated to ecological …

The modern New Zealand angiosperm flora has many notable characteristics, such as a
predominance of evergreen, perennial life forms, few nitrogen-fixing species, despecialised …

Based on the most recent evidence from phylogenetic analyses of Veronica and its related
genera, we propose a new infratribal and infrageneric rearrangement for Veroniceae and …

PREMISE Recent, rapid radiations present a challenge for phylogenetic reconstruction. Fast
successive speciation events typically lead to low sequence divergence and poorly resolved …

Biogeography is about the geographical distribution, both past and present, of plants,
animals and other organisms. In this undergraduate textbook, Spellerberg and Sawyer bring …

Lepidium sensu stricto (ss)(Brassicaceae)(ca. 150 species) is distributed worldwide with
endemic species on every continent. It is represented in Australia and New Zealand by 19 …

In a chemosystematic investigation of tribe Veroniceae (Plantaginaceae), representatives of
Camptoloma, Sibthorpia, Veronica subg. Pentasepalae and subg. Hebe, Veronicastrum …

The Hebe complex comprises a putatively monophyletic group distributed from eastern
Australia and New Guinea to the Falkland Islands. Analysis of ITS sequences supports five …
