The tribe Praomyini is a diversified group including 64 species and eight extant rodent
genera. They live in a broad spectrum of habitats across whole sub-Saharan Africa …

Evolutionary radiations on oceanic islands have fascinated biologists since Darwin's
exploration of the Galápagos archipelago [1, 2]. Island radiations can provide key insights …

The high diversification rates of plant lineages in the Mediterranean Basin hotspot have
been linked to a complex interaction of climatic stressors, geographic isolation and soil type …

Genetic non‐invasive sampling (gNIS) is a critical tool for population genetics studies,
supporting conservation efforts while imposing minimal impacts on wildlife. However, gNIS …

The sclerophyllous syndrome is characterized by well‐defined traits (evergreen coriaceous
leaves, inconspicuous flowers, and fleshy fruits). It has been hypothesized that lineages …

Needle-leaved junipers (Juniperus sect. Juniperus, Cupressaceae) are coniferous trees and
shrubs with red or blue fleshy cones. They are distributed across Asia, Macaronesia and the …

Abstract Background and Aims Several biogeographical models have been proposed to
explain the colonization and diversification patterns of Macaronesian lineages. In this study …

Researchers in phylogenetic systematics typically choose a few individual representatives of
every species for sequencing based on convenience (neighboring populations, herbarium …

Premise Divergence of floral morphology and breeding systems are often expected to be
linked to angiosperm diversification and environmental niche divergence. However …

The biogeographic history and the degree of environmental niche conservatism provide
essential clues to decipher the underlying macroevolutionary processes of species …
