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 examines TE accumulation in Scalesia species and finds no significant variation despite hybridization and niche shifts, challenging the role of TEs in diversification.

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.
