Polyploidy: an evolutionary and ecological force in stressful times
Polyploidy has been hypothesized to be both an evolutionary dead-end and a source for
evolutionary innovation and species diversification. Although polyploid organisms …

The evolutionary significance of polyploidy
Y Van de Peer, E Mizrachi, K Marchal - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2017 - nature.com
Polyploidy, or the duplication of entire genomes, has been observed in prokaryotic and
eukaryotic organisms, and in somatic and germ cells. The consequences of polyploidization …

Nested radiations and the pulse of angiosperm diversification: increased diversification rates often follow whole genome duplications
Our growing understanding of the plant tree of life provides a novel opportunity to uncover
the major drivers of angiosperm diversity. Using a time‐calibrated phylogeny, we …
