Forget your favorite flowers, because we’re talking all about the mean green sporing machines. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we dive into the first few branches of plants’ phylogenetic ...

The new model focuses on phylogenetic diversity, which is very different from counting species, today's standard measure of biodiversity. The same number of species (three blue circles) can have a ...

High-throughput sequencing is fundamentally altering traditional phylogenetic classifications. While the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG) III system based on chloroplast sequences has opened up a new ...

Genomes are key to unlocking life's evolutionary history. The presence and absence of certain genetic sequences and mutations can give us clues to the ...

1. Co-fruiting plant species are subject to a variety of biotic and abiotic processes that may influence patterns of fruiting phenology and the functional and phylogenetic diversity of co-fruiting ...

A new computational tool improves the analysis of genetic data, making it easier and faster to study the evolutionary relationships between species. A new computational tool improves the analysis of ...

Lineages with published genomes are shown with bold lines. Chara braunii, whose genome is described in the present study, represents the earliest diverging lineage to land plants in the ...

A group of researchers shared some interesting discoveries about the existence of epigenetic clocks in plants. Pawel Czerwinski from Unsplash A group of researchers have discovered a profound ...

In this episode we’ll explore the earliest plants: bryophytes and seedless vascular plants Forget your favorite flowers, because we’re talking all about the mean green sporing machines. In this ...
