The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of 18S-26S nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA)
has proven to be a useful source of characters for phylogenetic studies in many angiosperm …

The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of 18–26S nuclear ribosomal DNA was sequenced
in 12 representatives of the Compositae subtribe Madiinae and two outgroup species to …

“California’s extraordinary flora is described in contemporary detail in this handy volume,
which should prove an inspiration to all of those interested in these plants, their habitats, and …

The 3′ region of the external transcribed spacer (ETS) of 18S–26S nuclear ribosomal DNA
was sequenced in 19 representatives ofCalycadenia/Osmadeniaand two outgroup species (…

Comparisons between insular and continental radiations have been hindered by a lack of
reliable estimates of absolute diversification rates in island lineages. We took advantage of …

Tests of hypotheses about the biogeographical consequences of long-distance dispersal
have long eluded biologists, largely because of the rarity and presumed unpredictability of …

One of every 10 flowering plant species is in the family Compositae. With ca. 24,000-30,000
species in 1600-1700 genera and a distribution that is global except for Antarctica, it is the …

Phylogenetic patterns within Calycadenia were estimated from 18–26S nuclear ribosomal
DNA sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region in 19 representatives of all …

Individual plants of several Amelanchier taxa contain many polymorphic nucleotide sites in
the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA). This polymorphism …

The polyploid Hawaiian silversword alliance (Asteraceae), a spectacular example of
adaptive radiation in plants, was shown previously to have descended from North American …
