Island biogeography: taking the long view of nature's laboratories
BACKGROUND Ever since Darwin, natural scientists have turned to islands for inspiration
and for model systems. For the past half century, they have done so largely within the …

Asteraceae as a model system for evolutionary studies: from fossils to genomes
Abstract With c. 24 700 species (10% of all flowering plants), Asteraceae are one of the
largest and most phenotypically diverse angiosperm families, with considerable economic …

A fully resolved backbone phylogeny reveals numerous dispersals and explosive diversifications throughout the history of Asteraceae
The sunflower family, Asteraceae, comprises 10% of all flowering plant species and displays
an incredible diversity of form. Asteraceae are clearly monophyletic, yet resolving …
