The paper uses genome-wide sequencing to study the evolutionary relationships and biogeography of Hawaiian Doryopteris, finding that phylogeny is more linked to geography and climate than morphology.

This study examines two gecko lineages to determine if abiotic factors or competition drive speciation, finding that abiotic factors and competitive exclusion shape phenotypic divergence and convergence.

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.

This study shows mutualistic fungal endophytes in grasses expand ecological niches but constrain diversification, revealing a decoupling between niche expansion and speciation rates.

The paper surveys the phylogenetic distribution of poricidal flowers across angiosperms, finding widespread convergent evolution and context-dependent effects on diversification.
