This paper provides guidelines for calculating the EDGE index at the national level to monitor extinction risks of evolutionarily distinct species and highlights trends in threatened species.

The paper investigates the evolution and reversal of woodiness in flowering plants, finding that drought supports persistence while reduced frost drives gains and increased frost leads to loss.

The paper uses dual-hybridisation probes to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships in Sauvagesieae, finding evidence of polyploidisation and hybridisation affecting tree resolution.

The paper introduces CAPTUS, a phylogenomics pipeline that efficiently handles mixed sequencing data, revealing topological conflicts in the evolution of Cucurbitales.

This paper develops a scalable method to prioritize areas for plant occurrence data collection, validated by experts and adaptable to national priorities.

This paper develops efficient date interpolation algorithms to fully date a large phylogenetic tree, enabling robust estimates of phylogenetic diversity across 2.3 million species.

This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of palms using 1,033 nuclear genes and fossil evidence, finding the family originated in the Early Cretaceous and diversified rapidly.

The paper constructs the largest dated phylogenetic tree for euphyllophytes by integrating backbone phylogenies and species-level trees, revealing increased topological and age estimation uncertainty in recent times.

This paper proposes merging Smythea into Ventilago based on phylogenetic analysis showing Ventilago is paraphyletic.

The paper assesses the conservation status of species in large angiosperm genera, finding they are underrepresented in assessments and more likely to be threatened.

This study applies the EDGE metric to the Iberian Peninsula to identify regions with high concentrations of evolutionarily distinct and endangered angiosperms and assess protected area coverage.

This study updates the classification of Urticaceae by integrating molecular and morphological data, identifying new tribes and genera, and proposing taxonomic revisions.

The paper assesses angiosperm evolutionary history at risk of extinction and identifies conservation priorities using phylogenetic trees and extinction risk estimates.

This study assesses extinction risks for Scleria species using EDGE2 and EoDGE metrics, identifying conservation priorities in the Afrotropics and Neotropics.

The paper analyzes biome niche conservatism in the Berlinia clade, finding forest as the ancestral biome with no directional shifts back to forest, and no link between biome shifts and diversification rates.

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

This study constructs a nuclear phylogeny of grasses using genome-scale data, showing agreement with plastome phylogeny and evidence for repeated reticulation events.

This study investigates whether epiphytes have larger geographic range sizes than terrestrial plants globally and finds that while epiphytes generally have larger ranges, families with prevalent epiphytism often have small ranges regardless of lifeform.

The paper improves locus recovery by expanding the Angiosperms353 probe set with more transcriptome data, increasing on-target reads and loci recovery.

This study uses phylogenomic data to analyze floral trait evolution in the Anthonotha clade, revealing high diversity in floral trait shifts and a trend towards organ number reduction.
