Rosa-associated fungi are rich in species and diverse in function,with many potential new taxa.However,only a few publications have reported Rosa-associated endophytic fungi using a combination of molecular systematic...
Micronesian islands taxa show high endemism rates,but very little is known about their biogeographical histories.The lack of systematic biogeography is mainly due to insuficient phylogenetic research in Micronesia.Wit...

Phylogenetic stemminess is one of the most popular metrics of tree shape among evolutionary biologists.The index was originally described by Fiala&Sokal(1985)as the proportion of the total length of the branches of a ...
The angiosperm Apiaceae tribe Scandiceae includes four major clades-subtribes Daucinae,Ferulinae,Torilidinae,and Scandicinae-that originated ca.20 Mya.Although all four subtribes are highly supported in molecular anal...
Botanists have long considered the origins of the Hawaiian flora in terms of long-distance dispersal from particular source areas.We extensively reviewed phylogenetic studies of the Hawaiian angiosperm flora to determ...
Willi Hennig's work has had a profound impact on how we conceive biological systematics and evolution today (Wheeler et al., 2013; Williams et al., 2016). In attempt to establish a novel philosophical and theoretic...
Ecologists frequently use a supertree method to generate phylogenies in ecological studies. However, the robustness of research results based on phylogenies generated with a supertree method has not been well evaluate...
