Plant Ecology and Taxonomy Studies

This paper develops a method to analyze hybrid and polyploid evolutionary relationships using phylogenetic placement of paralogs from target enrichment data, showing its ability to detect hybridization and polyploidization events.

This study reclassifies B. calcarea from Boechera to Parryodes, revealing its placement in an ancestral clade of Arabideae through cytogenetic, phylogenetic, and repeatome analyses.

The paper uses herbarium specimens to reconstruct climate conditions and assess their impact on phenology and reproduction across a plant clade, finding precipitation onset and amount best predict phenology but weakly predict reproduction.

This paper establishes Cardamine chenopodiifolia as a model system for studying amphicarpy, identifying differentially expressed genes and developmental differences between above- and below-ground fruits.

The paper sequences and assembles complete plastome genomes from 18 beet species to resolve their phylogenetic relationships with high resolution.
