    Abstract : In this thesis relationships and the occurrence of reticulate evolutionary events in the club moss genus Diphasiastrum are investigated. Diphasiastrum is initially established as a monophyletic group within Lycopodiaceae using non recombinant chloroplast sequence data. READ MORE

  4. 2. Evolution of Lycopodiaceae (Lycopsida) : Relationships and Patterns of Diversification

    Author : Niklas Wikström; Anders Tehler; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; systematisk botanik; Systematic Botany;

    Abstract : A series of phylogenetic analyses using nucleotide sequence data resolves many aspects of the relationships in a group of land plants that until now have received comparatively little attention, the homosporous lycopsids or Lycopodiaceae. Although the group has evolved as an isolated lineage ever since the Late Devonian (more than 470 Myr ago), little is known about how modern species diversity relate to this ancient history. READ MORE
