Geographical isolation, habitat shifts and hybridisation in the diversification of the Macaronesian endemic genus Argyranthemum (Asteraceae)
Inferring the processes responsible for the rich endemic diversity of oceanic island floras is
important for our understanding of plant evolution and setting practical conservation …

Plastome diversity and phylogenomic relationships in Asteraceae
Plastid genomes are in general highly conserved given their slow evolutionary rate, and
thus large changes in their structure are unusual. However, when specific rearrangements …

Palaeo‐islands as refugia and sources of genetic diversity within volcanic archipelagos: the case of the widespread endemic Canarina canariensis (Campanulaceae)
Geographical isolation by oceanic barriers and climatic stability has been postulated as
some of the main factors driving diversification within volcanic archipelagos. However, few …
