2008 journal article

Rates of nucleotide substitution in Cornaceae (Cornales)—Pattern of variation and underlying causal factors

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 49(1), 327–342.

By: Q. Xiang n , J. Thorne n, T. Seo n, W. Zhang n, D. Thomas n & R. Ricklefs *

author keywords: Comus; Cornaceae; Divergence time; Rate of molecular evolution; Rate of morphological evolution; Speciation
MeSH headings : Bayes Theorem; Chloroplasts / genetics; Cornus / anatomy & histology; Cornus / classification; Cornus / genetics; DNA, Chloroplast / genetics; DNA, Plant / genetics; Evolution, Molecular; Fossils; Genes, Plant; Genetic Speciation; Genome, Chloroplast; Models, Genetic; Nucleotides / genetics; Phylogeny; Sequence Analysis, DNA
TL;DR: This study examined the rate and pattern of molecular evolution for five DNA regions over a phylogeny of Cornus, the single genus of Cornaceae, and suggested a possible localized link between species richness and rate of nonsynonymous nucleotide substitution for the combined cpDNA regions.

2006 journal article

Species Level Phylogeny of the Genus Cornus (Cornaceae) Based on Molecular and Morphological Evidence-Implications for Taxonomy and Tertiary Intercontinental Migration

Taxon, 55(1), 9.

By: Q. Xiang n , D. Thomas n, W. Zhang n, S. Manchester * & Z. Murrell *

author keywords: biogeography; Cornus; Cornaceae; ITS; matK; morphology; phylogeny
TL;DR: The phylogeny based on the total evidence tree including fossils supports an origin and early Tertiary diversification of Cornus in Europe and multiple trans-Atlantic migrations between Europe and North America by the early TERTiary. (via Semantic Scholar)

2004 journal article

Regional differences in speciation and ITS Evolution: A comparison between eastern Asia and eastern North America

Evolution, 58(10), 2175–2184.

By: Q. Xiang n , W. Zhang n, R. Ricklefs *, H. Qian *, Z. Cheng, J. Wen *, J. Li *

author keywords: biodiversity anomaly; eastern Asian-eastern North American floristic disjunction; molecular phylogeny; rate of' ITS evolution; rate of speciation
MeSH headings : Biodiversity; Databases, Nucleic Acid; Evolution, Molecular; Asia, Eastern; Geography; Likelihood Functions; Magnoliopsida / genetics; Models, Genetic; North America; Phylogeny; Species Specificity
TL;DR: The data support the idea that a regional difference in net speciation rate related to topographic heterogeneity contributes to the diversity anomaly between EAS and ENA and suggests that species production may be directly linked to rate of nucleotide substitution. (via Semantic Scholar)
