10.7554/eLife.36426.001 The columbine genus Aquilegia is a classic example of an adaptive
radiation, involving a wide variety of pollinators and habitats. Here we present the genome …

Adaptive radiations were central to Darwin's formation of his theory of natural selection, and
today they are still the centerpiece for many studies of adaptation and speciation. Here, we …

Interactions with animal pollinators have helped shape the stunning diversity of flower
morphologies across the angiosperms. A common evolutionary consequence of these interactions …

Here, we describe a polymorphic population of Aquilegia coerulea with a naturally occurring
floral homeotic mutant, A. coerulea var. daileyae, where the characteristic petals with nectar …

Divergence between evolutionary lineages is not always marked by the development of
obvious species-specific characters, whether morphological, physiological, or ecological. …

Factors leading to endemism, and the evolutionary implications of endemism, can be explored
by studying closely related taxa with variously restricted distributions. Such a model is …

Major public DNA databases — NCBI GenBank, the DNA DataBank of Japan (DDBJ), and
the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) — are invaluable biodiversity libraries. …

Two described species of Carex section Ceratocystis (Cyperaceae) are endemic to North
America: C. lutea Le B10nd is restricted to a single watershed along the Atlantic Coastal Plain …

The columbine genus Aquilegia is a classic example of an adaptive radiation, involving a
wide variety of pollinators and habitats. Here we present the genome assembly of A. coerulea ‘…

Materials and Methods Soluble enzymatic proteins were extracted from leaf tissue (Bruederle
and Fairbrothers, 1986) harvested from a total of 161 individuals of C. lutea collected “…
