Zhou, W., Harris, A. J., & Xiang, Q. Y. (2022, February 12). Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Vol. 2.

By: W. Zhou n, A. Harris * & Q. Xiang n 

author keywords: Angiosperms353; eastern Asian-North American disjunction; fossilized birth-death model; phylogenetic discordance; plastid genome sequences
topics (OpenAlex): Plant Diversity and Evolution; Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies; Plant and Fungal Species Descriptions
TL;DR: A new pipeline, RAD‐seq Allele Dropout Remedy, is developed in this study of the gymnosperm genus, Torreya, to mitigate ADO in outgroups by recovering missing loci from previously published transcriptomes, and the improved data yielded a more robust phylogeny forTorreya.

A New Pipeline for Removing Paralogs in Target Enrichment Data

Zhou, W., Soghigian, J., & Xiang, Q.-Y. (2021, June 13). Systematic Biology, Vol. 2.

By: W. Zhou n, J. Soghigian n & Q. Xiang n 

MeSH headings : Genome; High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing; Phylogeny
topics (OpenAlex): Genomics and Phylogenetic Studies; Genetic diversity and population structure; Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Interactions
TL;DR: The value of Hyb-Seq with data derived from the Angiosperms353 probe set for elucidating species relationships within a genus is demonstrated, and the importance of additional steps to filter paralogous genes and poorly aligned regions is argued. (via Semantic Scholar)

Phylogenomics, biogeography, and evolution of morphology and ecological niche of the eastern Asian–eastern North AmericanNyssa(Nyssaceae)

Zhou, W., Xiang, Q. Y., & Wen, J. (2020, May 9). Journal of Systematics and Evolution.

By: W. Zhou n, Q. Xiang n  & J. Wen*

author keywords: eastern Asian-eastern North American-Central American disjunction; evolution of morphology and ecological niche; Fluidigm sequencing; gene tree; species tree; Nyssa; phylogenomics
topics (OpenAlex): Plant Diversity and Evolution; Botany, Ecology, and Taxonomy Studies; Plant and animal studies
TL;DR: A number of evolutionary changes in morphology and ecological niches are found between the EA–ENA disjunct, supporting the ecological selection driving trait evolutions after geographic isolation and demonstrating challenges in phylogenomic studies of lineages with rapid diversification histories.

Rediscovery of the lost little dogwood Cornus wardiana (Cornaceae)—Its phylogenetic and morphological distinction and implication in the origin of the Arctic‐Sino‐Himalayan disjunction

Wahlsteen, E., Zhou, W., Xiang, Q., & Rushforth, K. (2020, February 21). Journal of Systematics and Evolution.

By: E. Wahlsteen *, W. Zhou n, Q. Xiang n  & K. Rushforth *

author keywords: circumboreal-Himalayan disjunction; Cornus; morphometry; new species; phylogeny
topics (OpenAlex): Plant and Fungal Species Descriptions; Genetic diversity and population structure; Plant Diversity and Evolution
TL;DR: The results suggest that the dwarf dogwood lineage split from the big‐bracted dogwoods in Asia or Asia‐western North America during the late Paleocene and spread widely to form a Eurasia‐North America distribution; the Arctic‐Sino‐Himalayan disjunction was the result of southward migration in the Miocene followed by extinction in the intervening highland areas.
