Main conclusion This study compared the plastomes of Ulmaceae allowing analyses of the
dynamic evolution, including genome structure, codon usage bias, repeat sequences …

Orchidaceae is the 3rd largest family of angiosperms, an evolved young branch of
monocotyledons. This family contains a number of economically-important horticulture and …

Subtribe Pleurothallidinae with just over 5000 species is possibly the most species-rich of all
orchids. It has been growing steadily for more than two centuries, but the last three decades …

Taxonomic delimitations are challenging because of the convergent and variable nature of
phenotypic traits. This is evident in species-rich lineages, where the ancestral and derived …

Colombia is a major biodiversity hotspot, having one of the richest orchid floras in the world.
The country spans over a million square kilometers of land, hosting a multitude of different …

Although the evolutionary drivers of genome size change are known, the general patterns
and mechanisms of plant genome size evolution are yet to be established. Here we aim to …

Genus Pinus is a widely dispersed genus of conifer plants in the Northern Hemisphere.
However, the inadequate accessibility of genomic knowledge limits our understanding of …

Lepanthes marielana, a new orchid species of the eastern Andes of Colombia, is described
and illustrated. The new species is similar to Lepanthes clausa, also from the eastern Andes …

The results of a revision of the orchid genus Andinia are presented. The proposed
classification is based on outcomes of morphological and molecular studies. Additionally …

Despite the availability of multiple sources of evidence and consistency in the support for a
broadly circumscribed Stelis Sw.(Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae), some authors continue to …
