• Phylogenetic structure in the Sphagnum recurvum complex (Bryophyta: Sphagnaceae) relative to taxonomy and geography 

      Duffy, A; Aguero, Blanka; Stenøien, Hans K.; Flatberg, Kjell Ivar; Ignatov, MS; Hassel, Kristian; Shaw, AJ (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Premise The Sphagnum recurvum complex comprises a group of closely related peat mosses that are dominant components of many northern wetland ecosystems. Taxonomic hypotheses for the group range from interpreting the whole ...
    • Phylogenomic structure and speciation in an emerging model: the Sphagnum magellanicum complex (Bryophyta) 

      Shaw, A. Jonathan; Piatkowski, Bryan; Duffy, Aaron M.; Aguero, Blanka; Imwattana, Karn; Nieto-Lugilde, Marta; Healey, Adam; Weston, David J.; Patel, Megan N.; Schmutz, Jeremy; Grimwood, Jane; Yavitt, Joseph B.; Hassel, Kristian; Stenøien, Hans K.; Flatberg, Kjell Ivar; Bickford, Christopher P.; Hicks, Karen A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Sphagnum magellanicum is one of two Sphagnum species for which a reference-quality genome exists to facilitate research in ecological genomics. Phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses were conducted based on ...
    • Sphagnum Xlydiae, the first allotriploid peatmoss in the Northern hemisphere 

      Kyrkjeeide, Magni Olsen; Hassel, Kristian; Aguero, Blanka; Temsch, Eva M.; Afonina, Olga M.; Shaw, A. Jonathan; Stenøien, Hans K.; Flatberg, Kjell Ivar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      In plants, hybridization between interspecific taxa leading to chromosome doubling seems to happen regularly and may be an important driver of speciation. Allopolyploid species often have morphological traits from both ...
