An angiosperm-wide perspective on reproductive strategiesand floral traits

The paper analyzes floral and reproductive traits across 361 flowering plant species to show that dioecy is linked to floral traits, while correlations with lifespan and dispersal are spurious.

APCalign: an R package workflow and app for aligning and updating flora names to the Australian Plant Census

APCalign aligns and updates scientific names for Australian vascular plants to the most likely currently accepted names using the Australian Plant Census or APNI.

Towards a phylogenomic classification of Magnoliidae

This study presents a comprehensive phylogenomic analysis of Magnoliidae, updating its classification by resolving previously ambiguous relationships and recognizing 21 families.

The AusTraits Plant Dictionary

The paper introduces the AusTraits Plant Dictionary to standardize plant trait definitions across databases, improving data integration and usability.

Insects pollinated flowering plants for most of angiosperm evolutionary history

The paper models angiosperm pollination evolution, finding insects pollinated flowering plants for 86% of their history, with wind pollination increasing in open habitats and at higher latitudes.

Profile of a flower: How rates of morphological evolution drive floral diversification in Ericales

The paper analyzes morphological evolution rates in Ericales flowers to determine if disparities are driven by heterogeneous rates across floral modules.

Evaluating the accuracy of methods for detecting correlated rates of molecular and morphological evolution

This study evaluates five methods for detecting correlations between molecular and morphological evolutionary rates, finding Bayesian relaxed-clock estimation most accurate, and reports no correlation in flowering plants data.

Trait-dependent diversification in angiosperms: patterns, models and data

This study synthesizes data from 152 studies on angiosperm diversification using SSE models, finding that trait effects vary across clades and dataset properties influence results.

Integrating Fossil Flowers into the Angiosperm Phylogeny using a Total Evidence Approach

This study integrates fossil flowers into angiosperm phylogeny using a total evidence approach, finding consistent placements with some new insights and highlighting methodological recommendations.

Climate shapes flowering periods across plant communities

This study examines how climate influences flowering periods across plant communities in Australia, finding that temperature and precipitation patterns explain 29% of variation in community flowering period lengths.

Pulled Diversification Rates, Lineages-Through-Time Plots and Modern Macroevolutionary Modelling

The paper evaluates diversification rate estimation methods using simulations, introduces 'pulled rates', and discusses the reliability of macroevolutionary models.

Phylogenomics of Brosimum Sw. (Moraceae) and allied genera, including a revised subgeneric system

This paper presents a phylogenomic study of Brosimum and related genera, revealing their evolutionary relationships and proposing a revised subgeneric classification.

The soursop genome and comparative genomics of basalangiosperms provide new insights on evolutionaryincongruence

The paper presents the soursop genome and uses phylogenomic analysis to resolve angiosperm relationships, finding magnoliids as sister to monocots and eudicots.

Long-distance dispersal shaped the diversity of tribe Dorstenieae (Moraceae)

This study investigates the biogeographic history of tribe Dorstenieae, finding that long-distance dispersal across the Atlantic shaped its Neotropical diversity.

Phylogenomics of the major tropical plant family Annonaceae using targeted enrichment of nuclear genes

This study uses targeted nuclear gene sequencing to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships in Annonaceae, confirming previous chloroplast studies and identifying new relationships and a new tribe.
