The systematic biology of the palm family (Arecaceae) is probably better known than that of
any other tropical plant family of comparable size. As a result, the palms are now regarded …

The paper reviews the current state of low and single copy nuclear markers that have been
applied successfully in plant phylogenetics to date, and discusses case studies highlighting …

Background Over the past decade, phylogenomics has greatly advanced our knowledge of
angiosperm evolution. However, phylogenomic studies of large angiosperm families with …

Despite progress based on multilocus, phylogenetic studies of the palms (order Arecales,
family Arecaceae), uncertainty remains in resolution/support among major clades and for the …

Abstract Aim Palms (Arecaceae/Palmae) are a model group for evolutionary studies in the
tropics. In two companion papers, we aim to establish a general framework of palm …

Saxifraga, the most species‐rich and taxonomically complex genus of Saxifragaceae, is a
characteristic component of temperate to polar climatic zones and of montane to alpine …

To investigate the evolutionary diversification and morphological evolution of grass
supertribe Poodae (subfam. Pooideae, Poaceae) we conducted a comprehensive molecular …

The tribe Geonomateae is a widely distributed group of 103 species of Neotropical palms
which contains six ecologically important understory or subcanopy genera. Although it has …

Arecaceae tribe Cocoseae is the most economically important tribe of palms, including both
coconut and African oil palm. It is mostly represented in the Neotropics, with one and two …

Abstract Background and Aims In the last decade, a new tool–DNA barcoding–was
proposed to identify species. The technique of DNA barcoding is still being developed. The …
