Colonization and diversification processes are responsible for the distinctiveness of island biotas, with Madagascar standing out as abiodiversity hotspot exceptionally rich in species endemism. Regardless its significance, evolutionary history drivers Madagascar's flora remain understudied. Here we focus on Helichrysum (Compositae, Gnaphalieae) to investigate biogeographic origins Malagasy flora. We inferred a highly resolved phylogeny based target-enrichment data from 327 (including 51 %...
The floras on the highest mountains in tropical eastern Africa are among most unique world. Despite exceptionally high concentration of endemic species, these remain understudied from an evolutionary point view. In this study, we focus Carduus-Cirsium group (subtribe Carduinae) to unravel relationships species Afromontane and Afroalpine floras, aiming improve systematics group. We applied Hyb-Seq approach using Compositae1061 probe set 190 samples (159 species), encompassing representatives...
The Afromontane and Afroalpine areas constitute some of the main biodiversity hotspots Africa. They are particularly rich in plant endemics, but biogeographic origins evolutionary processes leading to this outstanding diversity poorly understood. We performed phylogenomic analyses one most species-rich genera these mountains, Helichrysum (Compositae-Gnaphalieae). Most previous studies have focused on elements Eurasian origin, southern African origin provides an interesting counterexample....
We recently published a paper that presented the first Hyb-Seq phylogeny for subtribe Carduinae, in which we described three new genera endemic to African Sky-Islands [...].
Within the genus Centaurea L., polyploidy is very common, and it believed that, as to all angiosperms, was key in history of its diversification evolution. tentudaica a hexaploid from subsect. Chamaecyanus unknown origin. In this study, we examined possible autopolyploid or allopolyploid origin using allozymes sequences three molecular markers: nuclear-ribosomic region ETS, low-copy genes AGT1 PgiC. We also included species geographically morphologically close C. tentudaica: amblensis,...
