Lineage and role in integrative taxonomy of a heterotrophic orchid complex.

Lineage-based species definitions applying coalescent approaches to species delimitation have become increasingly popular. Yet, the application of these methods and the recognition of lineage-only definitions have recently been questioned. Species delimitation criteria that explicitly consider both lineages and evidence for ecological role shifts provide an opportunity to incorporate ecologically meaningful data from multiple sources in studies of species boundaries.

Digitized collections elucidate invasion history and patterns of awn polymorphism in Microstegium vimineum.

Premise: Digitized collections can help illuminate the mechanisms behind the establishment and spread of invasive plants. These databases provide a record of traits in space and time that allows for investigation of abiotic and biotic factors that influence invasive species.

Methods: Over 1100 digitized herbarium records were examined to investigate the invasion history and trait variation of Microstegium vimineum.
