Aims The aim of this article is 3-fold. First, we present an updated version of a published
megaphylogeny of vascular plants that can be used in studies of plant ecology and …

Phylogenies are essential to studies investigating the effect of evolutionary history on
assembly of species in ecological communities and geographical and ecological patterns of …

Phylogenies in Ecology is the first book to critically review the application of phylogenetic
methods in ecology, and it serves as a primer to working ecologists and students of ecology …

Plant communities of coastal dunes are distributed along a characteristic sea-inland
gradient. Generally, there is a shift from annual and short height species with small leaves in …

This study examines the mode of foredune development along~ 3,500 km of the west African
and the Canary Islands coasts. Foredune modes are classified into either continuous and …

Premise of the Study Evolutionary and biogeographic history, including past environmental
change and diversification processes, are likely to have influenced the expansion, migration …

Coastal dune landscapes are subject to harsh environmental conditions and, owing to
Pleistocene sea-level fluctuations, comprise small, fragmented features. These …

Foredunes are formed by aeolian sand deposition in vegetation on the backshore of
beaches. In this paper, the foredune mode (nebkha, discontinuous foredune, and …

Aim Site‐level species richness is thought to result from both local conditions and species'
evolutionary history, but the nature of the evolutionary effect, and how much it underlies the …

Coastal dunes are valuable and threatened habitats. They present a sea-land
environmental gradient and different vegetation types are found in a very short space …
