Santiago, Chile, 4Departamento de Biologıa, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad de La Methods We constructed a molecular phylogeny (internal transcribed spacer, Serena, La Serena, Chile ITS), estimated lineage divergence times, and identified ancestral biomes and biome shifts. The multivariate climatic niche of present-day species was described using occurrence data and bioclimatic variables. Climatic niche simi- larity was evaluated using Mahalanobis and Fisher distances. Brownian motion (BM) and Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) models of evolution were used to charac- terize temperature and precipitation niche evolution. Ancestral temperature and precipitation were estimated using the phylogenetic generalized least- squares method. Results Leucocoryne exhibits a low level of phylogenetic biome conservatism. The clade arose in the early Miocene in an ancestral sclerophyll biome and subsequently moved northwards into the arid winter-rainfall biome on two separate occasions, during the late Miocene and Pliocene, respectively, with very recent diversification of species in the winter-rainfall desert.

  • Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes
    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny.

If you cannot plant the bulbs immediately, remove the bulbs from plastic bags and put them on a tray in a cool, dark, dry, well-ventilated place until you have a chance to plant them. Do not let the bulbs freeze. Plant outdoors when the conditions are right for your zone. Bulbs for Fall Planting Plant the bulbs as soon as possible after you receive them. If you cannot plant them right away, open the cartons. If the bulbs are in plastic bags, remove them pots and may have actively from the plastic. Place them on a tray in a cool, dark growing green leaves. dry, well-ventilated area until you can plant them.
