Unraveling phylogenetic relationships, reticulate evolution, and genome composition of polyploid plant complexes by RAD-Seq and Hyb-Seq

This study uses RAD-Seq and Hyb-Seq data to analyze the phylogenetic relationships and genome evolution of the Ranunculus auricomus polyploid complex, revealing allopolyploid origins and post-origin evolutionary processes.

Using herbarium samples for NGS methods - a methodological comparison

This study compares DNA extraction methods for herbarium samples, finding that PTB-DTT yields higher DNA quantity and quality, while the Qiagen Kit provides better sequencing results for recent specimens.

Phylogenomics supported by geometric morphometrics reveals delimitation of sexual species within the polyploid apomictic Ranunculus auricomus complex (Ranunculaceae)

The paper delimits sexual species within the polyploid apomictic Ranunculus auricomus complex using phylogenomic and geometric morphometric methods, identifying five main genetic and morphological lineages.

Phylogenomics unravels speciation patterns in temperate-montane plant species: a case study on the recently radiating Ranunculus auricomus species complex

This study uses phylogenomic data to analyze speciation patterns in the Ranunculus auricomus complex, finding that vicariance processes drove speciation during the Mid-Pleistocene Transition.
