TL;DR

The diagnostic utility of pollen micromorphology—particularly sexine ornamentation—as a reliable marker for infrageneric delimitation within the tribe Sorbarieae is demonstrated, demonstrating the diagnostic utility of pollen micromorphology as a reliable marker for infrageneric delimitation within the tribe.

A phylogenomic approach for a new infrageneric classification of Bulbostylis (Abildgaardieae, Cyperaceae)

Bulbostylis is the second‐most species‐rich genus in Abildgaardieae, comprising c. 221 species with a pantropical to warm‐temperate distribution and a remarkable ecological and morphological diversity. Despite advances in molecular phylogenetics confirming its monophyly, relationships within Bulbostylis remain p...

Molecular phylogenetics provides insights into biogeography and character evolution in the assassin bug tribe Saicini (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Emesinae).

Reduviidae (assassin bugs) are a species-rich group of terrestrial predatory insects, exhibiting remarkable diversity in foreleg morphology. The tribe Saicini (Hemiptera: Reduviidae: Emesinae) displays various morphological modifications of the foreleg. Although the definition and classification of Saicini have undergo...

Fletcheria gen. nov. (Ralfsiales, Phaeophyceae): A new crustose brown algal genus clarifying evolutionary relationships of Ralfsia pacifica.

The genus Ralfsia was historically broadly circumscribed but has recently undergone significant taxonomic revision. Based on molecular data, a restricted Ralfsia sensu stricto was delineated that had many species reassigned to new genera and families. The current work builds on that work by resolving the phylogenetic p...

Comparative plastid genomics of five Ormosia species (fabaceae): insights into structural variation and morphological homoplasy

The results indicate that while the Ormosia plastomes retain the typical angiosperm quadripartite structure, they show a substantial expansion of the inverted repeat (IR) regions compared to the sister lineage of core genistoids (represented by Lupinus and Sophora), with the boundaries extending to the clpP gene.

New additions to Ericboehmia and Psiloglonium (Hysteriaceae, Hysteriales) based on morphology and multilocus phylogeny

Abstract Hysteriaceae is a taxonomically diverse family of ascomycetes, and continued taxonomic studies are improving our understanding of its species diversity and phylogenetic relationships. Two new species of Hysteriaceae, Ericboehmia guizhouensissp. nov., and Psiloglonium yunnanensesp. nov., are described from sout...

Phylogeny and the Evolution of Flower Symmetry in Posoqueria (Rubiaceae) Using the Universal Angiosperms353 Probe Set

Posoqueria includes 15–20 species of shrubs and trees in the coffee family Rubiaceae (tribe Posoquerieae). Posoqueria is phylogenetically poorly studied and includes several taxonomic problems. Previous studies using limited molecular data and taxon sampling identified two groups within the genus based on the pres...
