Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is characteristic of almost all fundamental lineages of
land plants. Unfortunately, the timings of WGD events are loosely constrained and …

Hybridization has long been recognized as a fundamental evolutionary process in plants
but, until recently, our understanding of its phylogenetic distribution and biological …

• Premise of the study: Understanding fern (monilophyte) phylogeny and its evolutionary
timescale is critical for broad investigations of the evolution of land plants, and for providing …

Hybridization and gene flow between species appears to be common. Even though it is
clear that hybridization is widespread across all surveyed taxonomic groups, the magnitude …

With the rise of affordable next-generation sequencing technology, introgression—or the
exchange of genetic materials between taxa—has become widely perceived to be a …

Difficulties in generating nuclear data for polyploids have impeded phylogenetic study of
these groups. We describe a high‐throughput protocol and an associated bioinformatics …

Despite their evolutionary relevance, multispecies networks or syngameons are rarely
reported in the literature. Discovering how syngameons form and how they are maintained …

Introgression is an important biological process affecting at least 10% of the extant species
in the animal kingdom. Introgression significantly impacts inference of phylogenetic species …

Premise Large genomic data sets offer the promise of resolving historically recalcitrant
species relationships. However, different methodologies can yield conflicting results …

It is thought that two species can coexist if they use different resources present in the
environment, yet this assumes that species are completely reproductively isolated. We …
