Explosive Radiation of Malpighiales Supports a Mid-Cretaceous Origin of Modern Tropical Rain Forests
(University of Chicago Press, 2005)Fossil data have been interpreted as indicating that Late Cretaceous tropical forests were open and dry adapted and that modern closed-canopy rain forest did not originate until after the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) boundary. ... -
Malpighiales Phylogenetics: Gaining Ground on One of the Most Recalcitrant Clades in the Angiosperm Tree of Life
(Botanical Society of America, 2009)The eudicot order Malpighiales contains ∼16000 species and is the most poorly resolved large rosid clade. To clarify phylogenetic relationships in the order, we used maximum likelihood, Bayesian, and parsimony analyses of ... -
Molecular Phylogenetics of Phyllanthaceae: Evidence from Plastid MatK and Nuclear PHYC Sequences
(Botanical Society of America, 2005)Plastid matK and a fragment of the low-copy nuclear gene PHYC were sequenced for 30 genera of Phyllanthaceae to evaluate tribal and generic delimitation. Resolution and bootstrap percentages obtained with matK are higher ... -
Phylogenomics of the Flowering Plant Clade Malpighiales
(2013-03-18)The angiosperm order Malpighiales includes \(\sim 16,000\) species and constitutes up to 40% of the understory tree diversity in tropical rain forests. Despite remarkable progress in angiosperm phylogenetics during the ...
