Hybridization can generate new species if some degree of isolation prevents gene flow between the hybrids and their progenitors. The recruitment of novel pollinators by hybrids has been hypothesized to be one way in which such reproductive isolation can be achieved.
We tested whether pollinators contributed to isolation between two natural Narcissu...

The Irano-Turanian floristic region spans a topographically complex and climatically continental territory, which has served as a source of xerophytic taxa for neighboring regions and is represented by a high percent of endemics. Yet, a comprehensive picture of the abiotic and biotic factors that have driven diversification within this biota remain...
Aim
Differentiation of island lineages from mainland relatives and radiation after initial colonization are two important processes generating island diversity. Both of these processes are influenced by colonization dynamics and contemporary connections between island species and their source populations. The classic island progression rule model,...
It has long been recognized that hybridization and polyploidy are prominent processes in plant evolution. Although classically recognized as significant in speciation and adaptation, recognition of the importance of interspecific gene flow has dramatically increased during the genomics era, concomitant with an unending flood of empirical examples,...
Background and Aims
Herbaria are powerful sources of data and material nowadays that can be used for analyses other than taxonomic purposes. Improved techniques of DNA extraction from old herbarium specimens combined with modern and relatively cheap genomic tools, allow the reassessment of the identity of important specimens with potential conseque...
The daisy tribe Anthemideae Cass. is one of the largest and most diverse tribes within Asteraceae. We analyzed a data set including 61 out of 111 Anthemideae genera, and all but four of the 19 currently recognized subtribes (Inulantherinae, Lapidophorinae, Lonadinae, and Vogtiinae) using a targeted high-throughput sequencing approach, the first foc...
Poster presentations 630 the endosperm (nourishing tissue in the seeds) often leads to triploid inviability, known as the triploid block, especially in inter-ploidy crosses between diploids and their tetraploid descendants. This phenomenon is frequently observed in mixed-ploidy plants. While the mechanistic basis of the triploid block has been docu...
The fundamental value of universal nomenclatural systems in biology is that they enable unambiguous scientific communication. However, the stability of these systems is threatened by recent discussions asking for a fairer nomenclature, raising the possibility of bulk revision processes for "inappropriate" names. It is evident that such proposals co...

Background and Aims
Polyploidy is considered one of the main mechanisms of plant evolution and speciation. In the Mediterranean Basin, polyploidy has contributed to making this region a biodiversity hotspot, along with its geological and climatic history and other ecological and biogeographical factors. The Mediterranean genus Centaurium (Gentianac...

إن القيمة الأساسية لأنظمة التسميات العلمية العالمية في علم الأحياء هي أنها تمكن من التواصل العلمي بشكل سلس ولا لبس فيه. ومع ذلك، فإن استقرار النظام الحالي معرض للخطر. وقد طالبت بعض المناقشات الأخيرة بوضع تسميات أكثر عدالة. تشير هذه المناقشات إلى ضرورة فتح عمليات مراجعة جماعية للأسماء "غير المناسبة". ومن الواضح أن مثل هذه الادعاءات تأتي من مشاعر إنس...
分類学は生物多様性を理解するための基盤であり、生物学的命名システムは国際的な科学コミュニケーションを促進する重要な役割を果たしている。しかし、植民地主義や差別などの社会的問題を反映した「不適切な」学名について一括改訂による見直しが提案されている。一方で、このような一括改訂プロセスによって、生物学的命名システムの安定性が損なわれる可能性がある。科学コミュニティは、生物学的命名システムがもたらす４つの価値である普遍性、安定性、中立性、超文化性を維持することの重要性を認識し、科学的命名法に政治的な影響を与える提案には慎重に対応する必要がある
ارزش اساسی سیستم های نامگذاری جهانی در زیست شناسی این است که آنها ارتباطات علمی بدون ابهام را امکان پذیر کرده اند. با این حال، ثبات سیستم به خطر افتاده است. بحثهای اخیر خواستار نامگذاری منصفانهتر بود. این بحث ها نشان می دهد که فرآیندهای بازنگری انبوه برای نام های "نامناسب" باز می شود. بدیهی است که چنین مشاجراتی ناشی از احساسات بسیار عمیق است، ام...
생물학에서 보편적 명명 체계의 근본적인 가치는 그것이 명확한 과학적 의사소통을 가능하게 했다는 것입니다. 그러나 시스템의 안정성이 손상되었습니다. 최근 토론에서는 좀 더 공정한 명명법을 요구했습니다. 이러한 논쟁은 "부적절한" 이름에 대한 대량 수정 프로세스의 개시를 제안합니다. 그러한 주장이 매우 깊은 감정에서 나온 것은 분명하지만, 이러한 주장 중 일부의 결과가 비판적 분석을 받았는지 여부는 불분명합니다. 생물학적 의사소통 시스템은 돌이킬 수 없을 정도로 손상될 수 있으며, 결과적으로 이에 의해 표현되는 과학도 손상될 수 있습니다. . 우리는 명명법의 객관적인 코드가 필요한 바로 그 이유에서 발생하는 네 가지 필수...

Фундаментальная ценность универсальных номенклатурных систем в биологии заключается в том, что они обеспечивают недвусмысленную научную коммуникацию. Однако стабильность системы нарушена. Недавние дискуссии потребовали более справедливой номенклатуры. Эти дебаты предполагают начало процесса массового пересмотра «неуместных» названий. Очевидно, что...
生物学中通用命名系统的基本价值在于它们实现了明确的科学交流。 然而，系统的稳定性受到损害。 最近的讨论要求采用更公平的命名法。 这些辩论表明对“不适当”的名称启动批量修改流程。 显然，这些争论来自非常深刻的感受，但尚不清楚其中一些主张的后果是否受到了批判性分析：生物通讯系统可能受到不可挽回的损害，反过来，它所阐述的科学也会受到损害。 。 我们想明确提出四个基本考虑因素，这些考虑因素正是我们需要客观的命名规则的原因：普遍性、稳定性、中立性和跨文化性。 我们这些考虑因素是 1. 公平公正地指导生物命名法的原则，2. 允许生物学中明确的普遍交流。 因此，任何主观建议都不应破坏它们。

An interesting conundrum was recently revealed by R. Abbott when he found that the number of hybrid zones reported in the literature for plants is very low, given the propensity of plants to hybridise. In another literature survey on hybrid zones performed over the period 1970-2022, we found that the number of hybrid zones reported for vertebrates...
Syngameons represent networks of otherwise distinct species connected by limited gene exchange. Although most studies have focused on how species maintain their cohesiveness despite gene flow, there are additional relevant questions regarding the evolutionary dynamics of syngameons and their drivers, as well as the success of their members and the...
Intense research efforts over the last two decades renewed our understanding of plant phylogeography and domestication in the Mediterranean basin. We aim to investigate the evolutionary history and the origin of domestication of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), which has been cultivated for millennia for food and fodder. We used >1000 microsatel...
The occurrence of tandem repeats of telomeric-like motifs at intra-chromosomal regions, known as interstitial telomeric repeats (ITR), have drawn attention as potential markers of structural changes, which might convey information about evolutionary relationships if preserved through time. Building on our previous work that reported outstanding ITR...

Rhizophora is the dominant genus of mangrove forests on the Atlantic coast of northern South America. What determines the zonation frequently observed in sympatric populations of the two neotropical species, R. mangle and R. racemosa, and their hybrids, R. × harrisonii, is an open question. The most widely held hypothesis is that differences in sal...
Editorial on the Research Topic Phylogenomic Approaches to Deal With Particularly Challenging Plant Lineages
Understanding the role and impact of reticulation in phylogenetic inquiry has improved with extended use of high throughput sequencing data. Yet, due to the dynamism of genomes over evolutionary time, disentangling old hybridization events remains a serious challenge. Phalacrocarpum (DC.) Willk. is one of the 27 Iberian endemic plant genera, curren...
The Irano-Turanian (IT) floristic region in Asia contains three biodiversity hotspots and has been a source of xerophytic taxa for neighboring regions. Despite its species richness and large territory, the evolutionary history and biogeography of this floristic region is poorly understood. Acanthophyllum, encompassing ca. 70 subshrubby mostly thorn...
Background and aims:
Changes in the amount of repetitive DNA (dispersed and tandem repeats) are considered the main contributors to genome size variation across plant species in the absence of polyploidy. However, the study of repeatome dynamism in groups showing contrasting genomic features and complex evolutionary histories is needed to find out...
Aim
Phylogeography of fruit trees is challenging due to recurrent exchanges between domesticated and wild populations. Here we tested the eastern refugium hypothesis (ERH) for the carob tree, Ceratonia siliqua , which supports its natural and domestication origins in the eastern Mediterranean and a feral origin in the west.
Location
Mediterranean...
Introgression is a poorly understood evolutionary outcome of hybridisation because it may remain largely undetected whenever it involves the transfer of small parts of the genome from one species to another. Aiming to understand the early stages of this process, a putative case from the southernmost border of the Armeria pungens range from its cong...

Canary Islands endemic species that have Mediterranean sister groups constitute suitable systems for addressing classical questions of island biogeography and speciation. This is the case of two polyploid (2n=44) species of plants: Lavatera acerifolia, endemic to the Canary Islands and its sister species Lavatera maritima, distributed along the Wes...
Premise of the Study
Simple sequence repeat (SSR) or microsatellite markers have been used in a broad range of studies mostly scoring alleles on the basis of amplicon size as a proxy for the number of repeat units of an SSR motif. However, additional sources of variation within the SSR or in the flanking regions have largely remained undetected.
M...

Using DNA barcoding markers, we inferred the phylogenetic relationships of the genus Anacyclus including for the first time
the three Eastern Mediterranean species, A. anatolicus, A. latealatus and A. nigellifolius. Our results conclusively reveal the
polyphyletic condition of this genus in its current circumscription. The molecular data show that...
Despite the importance of the North African region in the complex climatic and geological history of the western Mediterranean basin, the level of sampling of this region in biogeographical and phylogeographical studies is much lower than in the European region. Aiming to contribute to filling this gap, the evolutionary history of Lavatera maritima...
Background and aims:
Interstitial telomeric repeat (ITR) sites, consisting of tandem repeats of telomeric motifs localized at intrachromosomal sites, have been reported in a few unrelated organisms including plants. However, the causes for the occurrence of ITRs outside of the chromosomal termini are not fully understood. One possible explanation...
The nuclear genome harbours hundreds to several thousand copies of ribosomal DNA. Despite their essential role in cellular ribogenesis few studies have addressed intrapopulation, interpopulation and interspecific levels of rDNA variability in wild plants. Some studies have assessed the extent of rDNA variation at the sequence and copy-number level...

Besides being one of the most popular ornamental bulbs in western horticulture, the Mediterranean genus Narcissus has been the subject of numerous studies focusing on a wide scope of topics, including cytogenetics, hybridization and the evolution of polymorphic sexual systems. Phylogenetic hypotheses based on chloroplast data have provided a backbo...
Acantholimon is an important component of the subalpine steppe flora in the Irano-Turanian region and the second largest genus of Plumbaginaceae with c. 200 cushion-forming subshrubby species. Because the genus has been poorly represented in previous phylogenetic studies, questions regarding its monophyly, phylogenetic relationships and infrageneri...
Carob (Cetatonia siliqua L.) is a well-known Mediterranean tree whose domestication was contemporaneous to that of the first trees (eg. olive, fig) probably in the Middle-East. Since then, carob has played a crucial role in Mediterranean societies due to its edible fruits used for cattle forage and subsistence agriculture. Carob plants are able to...
Factors modulating introgressive hybridization between the red mangrove species Rhizophora mangle and R. racemosa in spatially defined sites are poorly understood. To investigate this, we evaluated the reproductive phenology and the nutrient and physiological traits in those two species and their F1 hybrids genotyped with microsatellite data across...
Premise of the study:
Mountain plants are among the species most vulnerable to global warming, because of their isolation, narrow geographic distribution, and limited geographic range shifts. Stochastic and selective processes can act on the genome, modulating genetic structure and diversity. Fragmentation and historical processes also have a grea...
