DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2019.02.018
Abstract: Phylogenetic analyses using diverse datasets can yield conflicting inference of evolutionary history. Phylogenetic conflicts observed in both animal and plant systems have often been explained by two competing (but not mutually exclusive) hypotheses, i.e., hybridization… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS The genus Buxus has high levels of endemism in the Caribbean flora with c. 50 taxa. In Cuba, 82% grow on ultramafic substrates and 59% are nickel (Ni)-accumulators or Ni-hyperaccumulators. Hence it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/biolinnean/blab042
Abstract: Ecological opportunity is hypothesized to cause an early burst of species diversification and trait evolution followed by a slowdown in diversification rates as niches are filled. Nonetheless, few studies have tested these predictions empirically with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.15011
Abstract: Although eukaryotic microorganisms are extremely numerous, diverse and essential to global ecosystem functioning, they are largely understudied by evolutionary biologists compared to multicellular macroscopic organisms. In particular, very little is known about the speciation mechanisms… read more here.

Abstract: Genomic study of beetle genital divergence suggests that genital evolution can be a primary driver of species diversification. The diversity of genital morphology among closely related animals with internal fertilization is well known, but the… read more here.
