Cryptic species diversity in a widespread neotropical tree genus: The case of Cedrela odorata
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "American Journal of Botany"
DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16064
Abstract: Abstract Premise Reconciling the use of taxonomy to partition morphological variation and describe genetic divergence within and among closely related species is a persistent challenge in phylogenetics. We reconstructed phylogenetic relationships among Cedrela odorata (Meliaceae)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/aps3.11292
Abstract: Premise Cycas is an important gymnosperm genus, and the most diverse of all cycad genera. The C. taiwaniana complex of species are morphologically similar and difficult to distinguish due to a lack of genomic resources.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10025
Abstract: Abstract Species delimitation is an imperative first step toward understanding Earth's biodiversity, yet what constitutes a species and the relative importance of the various processes by which new species arise continue to be debatable. Species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7315
Abstract: Abstract Farm ponds, a valued habitat for freshwater organisms, are being negatively affected by the recent changes in the environment as well as anthropological activities. In these ponds, biodiversity researchers have tended to focus on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8942
Abstract: Abstract DNA taxonomy including barcoding and metabarcoding is widely used to explore the diversity in biodiversity hotspots. In most of these hotspot areas, chafers are represented by a multitude of species, which are well defined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00285-016-1034-0
Abstract: The focus of this article is a Bayesian method for inferring both species delimitations and species trees under the multispecies coalescent model using molecular sequences from multiple loci. The species delimitation requires no a priori… read more here.
