Tricky flowers: how floral variation in a food-deceptive orchid is maintained over generations
Sometimes it’s a good idea not to send a consistent message to your pollinators.
How a conifer spread between isolated mountain-tops: the demographic history of Podocarpus latifolius/milanjianus
Were there land-bridges in the past that enabled trees to travel from mountaintop to mountaintop?
To C4 or not to C4 if you’re a tree? Some possible answers
C4 photosynthesis is an efficient way of harnessing energy, yet trees rarely use it. Why is that?
Invasion, isolation and evolution shape population genetic structure in Campanula rotundifolia
The genes of Harebell populations show the history of post-glacial colonisation.
How is flower diversity produced? Insights from Asarum
The core Heterotropa group was divided into nine subclades, each of which had a narrow geographic distribution.
Morphology is most informative in reconstructing early tracheophyte evolution
More so than reproductive or anatomical features, morphology defines evolutionary relationships among early vascular plants.
Can you find genetic echoes of an ancient ancestor in hornworts?
The genes hornworts share with other living plants may tell us something about their ancient common ancestor.
