Eucalypts(Myrtaceae tribe Eucalypteae)are currently placed in seven genera.Traditionally,Eucalyptus was defined by its operculum,but when phylogenies placed Angophora,with free sepals and petals,as sister to the operc...

Selaginella is the largest and most taxonomically complex genus in lycophytes.The fact that over 750 species are currently treated in a single genus makes Selaginellales/Selaginellaceae unique in pteridophytes.Here we...
Examples of evolution,extinction and homoplasy of the larger benthic foraminifera(LBF)occur throughout their history.Since the Carboniferous,LBF have thrived in carbonate-rich tropical and subtropical shallow-marine s...

The transfer of mitochondrial DNA to the nuclear genome gives rise to the nuclear DNA sequences of mitochon-drial origin(NUMTs),considered as a driving force in genome evolution.In this study,NUMTs in 23 bat genomes w...
Although past studies have included Passiflora among angiosperm lineages with highly rearranged plastid genomes (plastomes),knowledge about plastome organization in the genus is limited.So far only one draft and one c...

An angiosperm phylogeny was reconstructed in a maximum likelihood analysis of sequences of four mitochondrial genes, atpl, matR, nad5, and rps3, from 380 species that represent 376 genera and 296 families of seed plan...
