Phylogeography and specific boundaries of Jatropha excisa (Euphorbiaceae) in the Chaco

Jul 2026 · Plant Systematics and Evolution · Vol 312 · 0 citations · 67 references

TL;DR

This research supports recognizing J. excisa as a distinct native species in the Chaco, diverging from J. gossypiifolia around 18 million years ago, and emphasizes the need for further studies on hybridization and genetic flow among Jatropha species for conservation efforts.

Cryptic taxa in the morphospecies Bichromomyia flaviscutellata uncovered by expanded geographic sampling and COI DNA barcodes.

The Neotropical sand fly species Bichromomyia flaviscutellata is widely distributed and the main vector of Leishmania amazonensis. Previous molecular studies suggested that it comprises at least two morphologically cryptic taxa, but sampling has remained geographically limited. In this study, we expanded specimen colle...

Cryptic diversity, polyploidy, and intraspecific divergence in Erysimum (Brassicaceae) species endemic to the western Balkans.

Vicariant differentiation, auto- and allopolyploidy, genome size and chromosomal dynamics together account for the pronounced diversity of Erysimum in the Balkans, illustrating how speciation is driven within this biodiversity hotspot.

Mitogenomic Insights Into the Population Structure and Demographic History of Tree Shrews ( Tupaia belangeri ) in China

It is demonstrated that landscape complexity and demographic history are key drivers of evolutionary diversification in T. belangeri, challenging classical morphology‐based subspecies classifications and underscoring the need for comprehensive sampling across both domestic and international ranges.

Investigation of the genetic diversity of pearl spot, Etroplus suratensis (Bloch, 1790), through DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analysis from two habitats

Etroplus suratensis (pearl spot) is a commercially important cichlid native to South and Southeast Asia, yet its genetic variation in habitats of Karnataka has not been previously studied. This study integrates morphological and molecular approaches to examine specimens from freshwater (n=65) and brackish water (n=60)...

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...

Mitochondrial genetic diversity and population structure of Glyphoglossus guttulatus Blyth, 1856 (Anura: Microhylidae) across the Thai Lower Mekong Basin and adjacent northern drainage systems

The findings reveal pronounced mitochondrial population structure in G. guttulatus and suggest that geographic distance is more closely associated with population genetic differentiation than contemporary drainage-basin or major-river-system boundaries.
