Evolutionary Biology: A New Phylogenetic Framework for an Iconic Plant Radiation

Curr Biol. 2020 Dec 21;30(24):R1473-R1476. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2020.10.022.

Abstract

Studies in island systems underpin much of our knowledge of macroevolution. A new study of the Galápagos giant daisies adds to this tradition. A time-calibrated phylogeny is presented that offers insights into the factors associated with diversification, providing a framework for further studies to investigate processes underlying these findings.
