This study shows hybridisation enables Amazonian trees to rapidly evolve chemical defences against herbivores, driving diversification in response to shifting herbivore communities.

This study examines polyploidy in Inga species, finding tetraploidy in 14% of sequenced species and increased selection in chemical defence loci in polyploids.

The paper analyzes genome dynamics in Begonia species to link repetitive element expansion with speciation and genetic isolation across different radiations.

This study investigates hybridization in the genus Inga, finding widespread introgression and its potential role in adaptation through chemical defense loci during the radiation of Amazonian trees.

The paper presents the first highly contiguous nuclear and organelle genome assemblies for C. pubescens, enabling research on alkaloid biosynthesis and evolutionary relationships within the Rubiaceae family.
