Deciphering the evolution and biogeography of ant-ferns Lecanopteris s.s.

Southeast Asia is a biodiversity hotspot characterized by a complex paleogeography, and its Polypodiopsida flora is particularly diverse. While hybridization is recognized as common in ferns, further research is needed to investigate the relationship between hybridization events and fern diversity. Lecanopteris s.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of (Clusiaceae) from Yunnan Province, China.

Planch. & Triana is an evergreen tree classified to the genus in the family Clusiaceae. Here we report and characterize the complete chloroplast genome sequence of and its phylogenetic relationship was investigated.

Chloroplast phylogenomics and divergence times of Lagerstroemia (Lythraceae).

Background: Crape myrtles, belonging to the genus Lagerstroemia L., have beautiful paniculate inflorescences and are cultivated as important ornamental tree species for landscaping and gardening. However, the phylogenetic relationships within Lagerstroemia have remained unresolved likely caused by limited sampling and the insufficient number of informative sites used in previous studies.

Comparative Analysis of Six Complete Chloroplast Genomes.

Crape myrtles are economically important ornamental trees of the genus . (Lythraceae), with a distribution from tropical to northern temperate zones. They are positioned phylogenetically to a large subclade of rosids (in the eudicots) which contain more than 25% of all the angiosperms.

Combined community ecology and floristics, a synthetic study on the upper montane evergreen broad-leaved forests in Yunnan, southwestern China.

The upper montane evergreen broad-leaved forest in Yunnan occurs mainly in the zone of persistent cloud and has a discontinuous, island-like, distribution. It is diverse, rich in endemic species, and likely to be sensitive to climate change. Six 1-ha sampling plots were established across the main distribution area of the upper montane evergreen broad-leaved forest in Yunnan.
