TL;DR: Strong support for monophyly of groups corresponding closely to many previously recognized tribes and subfamilies is found, but no previous classification was entirely supported, and relationships among the strongly supported clades were weakly resolved and/or conflicted between some data sets.
Journal ArticleDOI
A checklist of the subfamily maloideae (rosaceae)
TL;DR: A checklist of the economically and ecologically important subfamily Maloideae (Rosaceae) is presented and represents the compilation and synthesis of over 170 publications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic and evolutionary implications of rbcL sequence variation in Rosaceae
TL;DR: RbcL-based phylogenies suggest that chromosome numbers are more reliable indicators of some generic alliances than the more commonly used fruit types and that the subfamily Maloideae may have descended from spiraeoid ancestors and the pome is derived from follicular or capsular fruit types.
Journal ArticleDOI
A synopsis of genera in Maloideae (Rosaceae)
TL;DR: The traditional division of Maloideae into two tribes is unwarranted and does not reflect relationships of the genera, and the extensive hybridization between genera and subgeneric groups seems to reflect weak overall barriers to hybridization in the subfamily rather than indicate evolutionary relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating floristic integrity in tallgrass prairie
TL;DR: In this paper, a monitoring and research program was established at Nachusa Grasslands in north-central Illinois to assess progress in tallgrass prairie restoration and reconstruction efforts and evaluate the effectiveness of indices used to measure community-level properties related to vegetation integrity.
