Cyperaceae (sedges) are the third largest monocot family and are of considerable economic
and ecological importance. Sedges represent an ideal model family to study evolutionary …

Phylogenetic studies of Carex L. (Cyperaceae) have consistently demonstrated that most
subgenera and sections are para‐ or polyphyletic. Yet, taxonomists continue to use subgenera …

… restricted to SE Asia (Léveillé-Bourret et al., 2018a) is congruent with a positive area-richness
correlation pattern and suggests that colonization out of E Asia may have facilitated the …

Despite the promise that molecular data would provide a seemingly unlimited source of
independent characters, many plant phylogenetic studies are still based on only two regions, the …

… As in thisstudy, Léveillé-Bourret al. (2018a) found a sister relationship between Carex L. …
, and the presence of a tubercle on the fruit (Léveillé-Bourret et al. In press). The genus Carex …

Supergenes are nonrecombining genomic regions ensuring the coinheritance of multiple,
coadapted genes. Despite the importance of supergenes in adaptation, little is known on how …

For over a century, the origins and mechanisms underlying the diversification of the enormous
temperate genus Carex (>2100 species; Cariceae, Cyperaceae) have remained largely …

Flowers show important structural variation as reproductive organs but the evolutionary forces
underlying this diversity are still poorly understood. In animal-pollinated species, flower …

Biodiversity hotspots, such as the Caucasus mountains, provide unprecedented opportunities
for understanding the evolutionary processes that shape species diversity and richness. …

Trichophoreae is a nearly cosmopolitan Cyperaceae tribe that contains ~17 species displaying
striking variation in size, inflorescence complexity, and perianth morphology. Although …
