      The repeated, rapid and often pronounced patterns of evolutionary divergence observed in insular plants, or the ‘plant island syndrome’, include changes in leaf phenotypes, growth, as well as the acquisition of a perennial ...
    • Incomplete lineage sorting and ancient admixture, and speciation without morphological change in ghost-worm cryptic species

      Morphologically similar species, that is cryptic species, may be similar or quasi-similar owing to the deceleration of morphological evolution and stasis. While the factors underlying the deceleration of morphological ...
    • Removing the bad apples: A simple bioinformatic method to improve loci-recovery in de novo RADseq data for non-model organisms
