Phylogeography, born to bridge population genetics and phylogenetics in an explicit
geographic context, has provided a successful platform for unveiling species evolutionary …

Research in Macaronesia has led to substantial advances in ecology, evolution and
conservation biology. We review the scientific developments achieved in this region, and …

The family Araceae (3790 species, 117 genera) has one of the oldest fossil records among
angiosperms. Ecologically, members of this family range from free‐floating aquatics (Pistia …

We examined the phylogenetic history of Linaria with special emphasis on the
Mediterranean sect. Supinae (44 species). We revealed extensive highly supported …

Disentangling species boundaries and phylogenetic relationships within recent evolutionary
radiations is a challenge due to the poor morphological differentiation and low genetic …

Most genetic engineering of plants uses Agrobacterium mediated transformation to
introduce novel gene content. In nature, insertion of T-DNA in the plant genome and its …

Traditional classification of speciation modes has focused on physical barriers to gene flow.
Allopatric speciation with complete reproductive isolation is viewed as the most common …

Floral nectar spurs are widely considered a key innovation promoting diversification in
angiosperms by means of pollinator shifts. We investigated the macroevolutionary dynamics …

Morphological and DNA data support that the East Mediterranean snake-eyed skink
Ablepharus kitaibelii represents a species complex that includes four species A. kitaibelii, A …

Aim The evolutionary history of narrow endemic species has received little attention
compared with that of more widely distributed species. Small effective population sizes and …
