Phylogenetic analysis of the chloroplast-encoded rbcL gene in Leguminosae are consistent with previous hypotheses suggesting that family as a whole is monophyletic, but only two its three subfamilies natural. The earliest dichotomies appear to have involved tribes Cercideae or Cassieae (subtribe Dialiinae), followed by Detarieae/ Macrolobieae, all which members subfamily Caesalpinioideae. remainder divided into clades: (1) Mimosoideae and caesalpinioid Caeasalpinieae (subtribes Ceratoniinae...
Abstract A parsimony analysis was conducted on 319 rbcL sequences, comprising 242 from 194 genera of Leguminosae and 77 other families. Results support earlier conclusions molecular data that a monophyletic is part Fabales includes Polygalaceae, Surianaceae, the anomalous rosid genus Quillaja. Within legumes, results previous analyses were also supported, such as paraphyletic nature Caesalpinioideae monophyly Mimosoideae Papilionoideae. Most new (74 sequences) Papilionoideae, particularly...
Abstract While many plant species are considered threatened under anthropogenic pressure, it remains uncertain how rapidly we losing diversity. To fill this gap, propose a Global Legume Diversity Assessment (GLDA) as the first step of global diversity assessment. Here describe concept GLDA and its feasibility by reviewing relevant approaches data availability. We conclude that Fabaceae is good proxy for overall angiosperm in habitats much available. As indicators states, comparison richness...
The Air Telang Protected Forest (ATPF) is one of the most dynamic and essential coastal forest landscapes in South Sumatra, Indonesia, because its location between multiple river outlets, including Musi catchment—Sumatra’s largest dense lowland catchment area. While ATPF areas are covered by mangroves, these have been experiencing severe anthropogenic-driven degradation conversion. This study aims to evaluate land cover changes associated carbon emissions over a 35-year period (1985–2020)...

Abstract Aim Mangroves are intertidal plants with sea‐dispersed propagules, hence their population structure can offer valuable insights into the biogeographical processes driving subdivision in coastal species. In this study, we used molecular markers and ocean circulation simulations to examine effects of currents land masses on genetic major mangrove species Rhizophora mucronata . Location Southeast Asia. Methods We assessed 13 R. populations from continental Asia Sumatra using 10...
The global distribution of mangroves is attributed to interactions between long-distance propagule dispersal and geographical barriers, which are manifest in genetic structuring. Uncovering this structure thus provides a window into the ecological, evolutionary, phylogeographic history mangroves. We used cpDNA nuclear microsatellites evaluate transbarrier (transoceanic transisthmian) linkages genus Rhizophora Atlantic East Pacific (AEP) South region. •Leaf samples 756 individuals mangle, R....
Abstract Cycads represent an example of the success evolutionary stasis. Despite their early origin, they survived multiple events mass extinction and diversified in modern tropical ecosystems during Cenozoic without major changes morphology. What factors have allowed persistence diversification despite conservative nature? We reviewed documentation on micro‐ macro‐evolutionary processes involved Neotropical genus Dioon . comprises 18 species from varied habitats Mexico Honduras, serves as a...
Lathyrus (Leguminosae; Papilionoideae) is the largest genus in tribe Fabeae and exhibits an intriguing extratropical distribution. We studied systematics biogeography of using sequence data, from accessions representing 53 species, for internal transcribed spacer plus 5.8S-coding region nuclear ribosomal DNA as well trnL-F trnS-G regions chloroplast DNA. Our results generally supported recent morphology-based classifications, resolving clades corresponding to sections Lathyrostylis, but...
The genus Dalbergia with c. 250 species has a pantropical distribution. In spite of the high economic and ecological value genus, it not yet been focus level phylogenetic study. We utilized ITS nuclear sequence data included 64 representative its entire geographic range to provide first framework evaluate previous infrageneric classifications based on morphological data. analyses performed suggest that is monophyletic probably originated in New World. Several clades corresponding sections...
Mangrove forests are ecologically important but globally threatened intertidal plant communities. Effective mangrove conservation requires the determination of species identity, management units, and genetic structure. Here, we investigate distinctiveness structure an iconic yet taxonomically confusing complex Rhizophora mucronata R. stylosa across their distributional range, by employing a suite 20 informative nuclear SSR markers. Our results demonstrated general stylosa, potential...
Biogeographic transition zones are promising areas to study processes of biogeographic evolution and its influence on biological groups. The Mexican zone originated due the overlap Nearctic Neotropical biota, which promoted great diversification. However, since most previous studies in this area were focused revealing phylogeography plants, how historical configuration influenced expansion diversification flora remains almost unknown. Using cycad genus Dioon (Zamiaceae), aimed test whether...

Nucleotide sequences of the chloroplast‐encoded rbcL gene were used to examine phylogenetic relationships genus Salix together with other allied genera family Salicaceae. Phylogenetic analyses strongly suggest monophyly three commonly recognized ( Chosenia, Salix, and Toisusu ). Two monophyletic groups are within larger group. They do not correspond any infrageneric taxa proposed so far. With regard character evolution, it is thought that reduction stamen number from more than two stamens...
Abstract Phylogenetic relationships and the spatial genetic structure of a pantropical plant with sea‐drifted seeds, Hibiscus tiliaceus L., its allied species were investigated. The combined distribution range these is over almost entire littoral area tropics worldwide, which might result from dispersal their seeds recurrent speciation in local populations. A phylogenetic tree constructed using nucleotide sequences c . 7500‐bp portion chloroplast DNA suggested possibility that H. has given...
Ipomoea pes-caprae (Convolvulaceae), a pantropical plant with sea-drifted seeds, is found globally in the littoral areas of tropical and subtropical regions. Unusual long-distance seed dispersal has been believed to be responsible for its extraordinarily wide distribution; however, actual level inter-population migration never studied. To clarify among populations I. across range, we investigated nucleotide sequence variations by using seven low-copy nuclear markers 272 samples collected...
Aridification is considered a selective pressure that might have influenced plant diversification. It suggested plants adapted to aridity diversified during the Miocene, an epoch of global aridification (≈15 million years ago). However, evidence supporting diversification being direct response scarce, and multidisciplinary evidence, besides just phylogenetic estimations, necessary support idea has driven The cycad genus Dioon (Zamiaceae), tropical group including species occurring from humid...
Niche conservatism is the tendency of lineages to retain same niche as their ancestors. It constrains biological groups and prevents ecological divergence. However, theory predicts that can hinder gene flow, strengthen drift increase local adaptation: does it mean also facilitate speciation? Why this happen? We aim answer these questions. examined variation chloroplast DNA, genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms, morphological traits environmental variables across Dioon merolae cycad...
Species detection using environmental DNA (eDNA) is a biomonitoring tool that can be widely applied to mangrove restoration and management. Compared traditional surveys are taxa-specific time-consuming, eDNA metabarcoding offers rapid, non-invasive cost-efficient method for monitoring biodiversity characterising the spatio-temporal distribution of multiple taxa simultaneously. General guidelines well-established aquatic systems, but habitat-specific still lacking. Mangrove habitats, as...
