Andinocleome sensu lato of the Andean clade of Cleomaceae contains eight species and presents an important study group for research in population dynamics, species boundaries, and hybridization as there are morphological variations within species (particularly A. anomala), questionable species boundaries, and hypothesized hybridization in the genus. In this research, we used target sequence capture and the Angiosperms353 probe set to generate data from 65 herbarium vouchers. These data were combined with previously published sequence data from an additional 112 specimens in the genus to resolve species boundaries and identify genetic diversity within species. The Hyb-Seq nuclear phylogenetic tree resolved species boundaries and provides an important framework for future studies in Andinocleome. Few studies in plants have applied the Angiosperms353 probe set to address population level dynamics using herbarium specimens, and our study expands on this research. We identified genetic variation between intraspecific populations by sampling from two “mass collections” representing morphological variation in the species A. anomala, in addition to sampling across the genus. We also used off-target chloroplast regions to construct a chloroplast phylogenetic tree; discordance between the nuclear and chloroplast trees indicated introgressive hybridization within Andinocleome. STRUCTURE, principal component analyses, SNaQ, and HyDe analyses further supported hybridization between multiple species within the clade. Our study resolves species boundaries despite significant hybridization and represents the most comprehensive genetic study to date in Andinocleome. We demonstrate that the Angiosperms353 probe set can be appropriate for identifying population structuring within species, even when utilizing herbarium specimens.

山蕨科安第斯支系的长尾蕨（Andinocleome sensu lato）包含8个种，是种群动态、种界和杂交研究的重要研究群体，因为种内存在形态变异（特别是A. anomala），种界存在问题，属内存在假设杂交。在这项研究中，我们使用靶序列捕获和Angiosperms353探针集从65份植物标本室凭证中生成数据。这些数据与先前发表的来自该属另外112个标本的序列数据相结合，以确定物种边界并确定物种内的遗传多样性。Hyb-Seq核系统发育树解决了物种边界问题，为今后的研究提供了重要框架。很少有研究利用植物标本室标本来研究被子植物的种群水平动态，本研究在此基础上进行了扩展。除了跨属取样外，我们还从代表A. anomala物种形态变异的两个“大规模收集”中取样，确定了种内种群之间的遗传变异。我们还利用非靶叶绿体区域构建了叶绿体系统发育树；核树和叶绿体树之间的不一致表明了颖花体内的渐渗杂交。结构分析、主成分分析、SNaQ和HyDe分析进一步支持了分支内多个物种之间的杂交。我们的研究解决了物种边界，尽管有显著的杂交，代表了迄今为止最全面的遗传研究。我们证明，即使在利用植物标本室标本时，Angiosperms353探针集也可以用于识别物种内的种群结构。

Despite being one of the most diverse planthopper families with broad distribution and ecological significance, the internal classification of Flatidae has remained largely phenetic and of limited phylogenetic relevance. Here, we present the first comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of Flatidae, based on a multilocus dataset and broad, though still incomplete, genus-level sampling. Our results challenge the monophyly of most traditional subfamilies, tribes, and subtribes, and reveal three previously unrecognized major lineages with strong biogeographic structure: the siphantinian, flatinian, and selizinian lineages. The latter two comprise, respectively, three and five well-supported sublineages: phromniinan, phyllyphantinan, and flatinan for the former; and sisciinan, phantinan, selizinan, cryptoflatinan, and the Makaya⁺ sublineage for the latter. The origin of Flatidae is estimated to date back to the Late Jurassic, with diversification in their ancestral area, likely the Oriental region or the Old World, occurring during the Early Cretaceous. The geographic distributions of the newly emerged lineages show strong coherence with their phylogenetic structure. We interpret the early diversification of Flatidae as closely tied to the rise of angiosperms during the Cretaceous, which provided novel ecological opportunities and facilitated both radiation and long-term persistence across continents. Herein, we provide a new evolutionary framework for future morphological, ecological, and taxonomic research on Flatidae, and we contribute to a deeper understanding of diversification patterns among higher Fulgoroidea.

尽管飞虱科是分布最广、生态意义最丰富的飞虱科之一，但飞虱科的内部分类在很大程度上仍然是表型的，系统发育相关性有限。在这里，我们提出了第一个全面的系统发育分析，基于多位点数据集和广泛的，尽管仍然不完整，属水平的抽样。我们的研究结果挑战了大多数传统亚科、部落和亚部落的单一性，并揭示了三个以前未被认识到的具有强大生物地理结构的主要谱系：西phantinian、flatinian和selizinian谱系。后两者分别包括三个和五个支持良好的亚系：phromniinan， phyllyphantinan和flatinan（前者）；还有七剑麻、幻地楠、七剑麻、隐扁豆，以及后者的Makaya+子系。据估计，Flatidae的起源可以追溯到晚侏罗世，它们的祖先地区（可能是东方地区或旧大陆）的多样化发生在早白垩纪。新出现的谱系的地理分布与其系统发育结构具有很强的一致性。我们认为，Flatidae的早期多样化与白垩纪被子植物的兴起密切相关，被子植物的兴起提供了新的生态机会，并促进了跨大陆的辐射和长期持久性。本研究为今后Flatidae的形态学、生态学和分类学研究提供了一个新的进化框架，并有助于更深入地了解高等富氏总科的多样化模式。

The phylogeny of the western Palaearctic land snail genus Helix was previously studied using only a few partial mitochondrial genes. The mitochondrial phylogeny was not well resolved, and frequent mitochondrial introgressions indicated that the mitochondrial phylogeny may not correspond to the species tree. We analysed genome-wide ddRAD data to obtain a reliable species tree and re-analysed the mitochondrial phylogeny with mitogenome-scale data from selected species to investigate the extent and causes of mitonuclear discordance. The ddRAD phylogeny resolved the position of previously problematic species, elucidated the biogeographic history of the genus, and confirmed the monophyly of some species that was not unambiguously supported by the mitochondrial data. Helix arnautorum is shown here to be a distinct species, separate from Helix dormitoris. Mitochondrial introgressions indeed cause discordances between the mitochondrial and species trees. The most significant case, the nearly complete replacement of the original mitochondrion of Helix buchii, is associated with relaxed selection and accelerated substitution rate in the original mitochondrial lineage. However, robustly estimating the mitochondrial phylogeny turned out to be difficult even with complete mitochondrial genomes. This is probably due to a combination of short internal branches and variation in substitution rate and nucleotide composition. Alignment filtering and site-heterogeneous mixture models yielded estimates more concordant with the species tree than partitioned analysis of complete protein-coding sequences.

在此之前，人们仅利用少数部分线粒体基因研究了古北缘西部陆地蜗牛属Helix的系统发育。线粒体系统发育未得到很好的解决，频繁的线粒体渗入表明线粒体系统发育可能与物种树不对应。我们分析了全基因组的ddRAD数据，以获得可靠的物种树，并使用来自选定物种的有丝分裂基因组规模数据重新分析了线粒体系统发育，以研究有丝分裂核不一致的程度和原因。ddRAD系统发育解决了以前有问题的物种的位置，阐明了该属的生物地理历史，并证实了一些线粒体数据不明确支持的物种的单系性。此处显示的螺旋arnautorum是一个独特的物种，与螺旋宿舍分开。线粒体渗入确实导致线粒体树和物种树之间的不一致。最显著的例子是，Helix buchii的原始线粒体几乎完全被替换，这与原始线粒体谱系中的宽松选择和加速替换率有关。然而，即使有完整的线粒体基因组，也很难可靠地估计线粒体系统发育。这可能是由于短的内部分支和取代率和核苷酸组成的变化的结合。比对滤波和位点异质混合模型比完整蛋白质编码序列的分割分析更符合物种树的估计。

The inclusion of molecular data in evolutionary studies revealed a vast underestimation of species richness and allowed for assessing the relative importance of landscape features on the evolutionary history of species with different ecological requirements. Here, we used genomic-scale data to assess the genetic diversity of the crocodylian Caiman latirostris, exploring drivers of diversification. Using phylogenomic analysis, we identified five deeply diverged populations that are putative new species under C. latirostris. Genetic structure is coherent with South American watersheds, with evolutionary significant units/unconfirmed candidate species occurring mainly in the Atlantic Eastern Northeast Coast, São Francisco, Atlantic Southeastern, Atlantic South, and Paraná watersheds. Populations also show congruence with freshwater ecoregions, suggesting that not only watersheds, but also other landscape features, may act on species diversification. This is reinforced by a low migration rate between populations separated by mountain ranges. We highlight the need for separate management plans for each population of this historically threatened species due to their unique evolutionary history and genetic diversity. Future studies focusing on possible morphological and ecological differences, as well as demographic history, may reinforce the existence of putative species.

Neotropical biodiversity is highly underestimated. Even in allegedly well-known taxonomic groups like birds, recent revisions reveal inaccurate taxonomic arrangements that conceal complex evolutionary histories. In this study, we present a complementary molecular and morphometric revision of the taxonomy of the Velvet-fronted Grackle, Lampropsar tanagrinus, a specialist to the floodplains of northern South America. Our results show that across its described distribution, individuals present enough molecular and morphologic differences to be classified as three separate species that partially match described subspecies, including L. tanagrinus, L. violaceus and L. guianensis that occupy the floodplains of, respectively, the Orinoco, the Amazon and the Beni river basins. We show that previous adoption of subspecies status was influenced by an undetected west-east cline in the size of birds in the Amazon basin which nevertheless corresponds to a single taxon. Based on these results, we interpret the diversification history of Lampropsar taxa in the context of the evolution of the Northern South American landscape. Finally, we use our findings to discuss how taxonomic practices in Neotropical ornithology repeatedly lead to misleading interpretation of the evolutionary and biogeographic history of the taxa and the landscape in the region.

新热带生物多样性被严重低估。即使是在鸟类等据称众所周知的分类群体中，最近的修订也揭示了不准确的分类安排，这些安排掩盖了复杂的进化历史。在这项研究中，我们提出了一个互补的分子和形态测量学修订的天鹅绒前Grackle， Lampropsar tanagrinus，一个专家的南美北部洪泛平原的分类。我们的研究结果表明，在其描述的分布中，个体表现出足够的分子和形态差异，可以将其分类为三个独立的物种，这些物种部分匹配所描述的亚种，包括分别占据奥里诺科河、亚马逊河和贝尼河流域洪泛区的L. tanagrinus、L. violaceus和L. guianensis。我们表明，先前的亚种地位的采用受到未被发现的亚马逊盆地鸟类大小的西向东倾斜的影响，然而这对应于一个单一的分类单元。基于这些结果，我们在南美北部景观演变的背景下解释了Lampropsar分类群的多样化历史。最后，我们利用我们的发现讨论了新热带鸟类学的分类实践如何反复导致对该分类群的进化和生物地理历史以及该地区景观的误导性解释。

Liliales comprises many species of ecological, ornamental, and medicinal importance, yet its evolutionary relationships remain controversial. In particular, the origin and evolution of genes involved in colchicine biosynthesis are poorly understood. Here, we aimed to investigate phylogenetic uncertainties within Liliales and the evolution of colchicine-related genes. We sampled 203 transcriptomes (179 species), including 51 newly generated, representing eight families of Liliales. Then, we performed phylogenomic analyses including species tree inference, hybridization detection, and whole-genome duplication (WGD) assessment. We detected extensive phylogenetic conflict driven by incomplete lineage sorting and hybridization, and identified five WGD events across the order. Metabolite profiling confirmed colchicine in Colchicaceae species, and molecular analyses revealed that genes in its biosynthetic pathway are widely present in Liliales. Gene copy number, positive selection analyses, and molecular docking suggested that gene expansion and amino acid change (genes ABH1 and NAT1) contributed to colchicine biosynthesis. These findings indicate that WGDs and subsequent gene evolution contributed to the diversification of Liliales. This study provides new insights into the evolution of Liliales and the molecular basis of colchicine biosynthesis.

百合属植物包括许多种类的生态，观赏和药用的重要性，但其进化关系仍然存在争议。特别是，参与秋水仙碱生物合成的基因的起源和进化尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨百合属植物系统发育的不确定性以及秋水仙碱相关基因的进化。本研究共采集了百合科8科共203个转录组（179种），其中新生成51个。然后，我们进行了系统基因组分析，包括物种树推断、杂交检测和全基因组重复（WGD）评估。我们发现了由不完整的谱系分类和杂交驱动的广泛的系统发育冲突，并在整个顺序中确定了五个WGD事件。代谢谱分析证实了秋水仙碱在秋水仙科物种中的存在，分子分析表明其生物合成途径的基因在百合属植物中广泛存在。基因拷贝数、阳性选择分析和分子对接表明，基因扩增和氨基酸变化（ABH1和NAT1基因）参与了秋水仙碱的生物合成。这些结果表明，WGDs和随后的基因进化促进了百合科植物的多样化。该研究为百合科植物的进化和秋水仙碱生物合成的分子基础提供了新的认识。

Understanding the processes driving the diversity of mountain herpetofauna requires a comprehensive examination of species diversification across evolutionary scales. Here, we investigate the phylogeography of Iberolacerta, a genus of eight lizard species mainly restricted to high elevations in southwestern Europe. Using genomic data, we reconstructed a nuclear phylogeny that aligns with mitochondrial evidence in supporting the divergence of all currently recognized species. Notably, we detect historical nuclear gene flow between I. cyreni and I. martinezricai in Central Spain, suggesting past range overlap, reminiscent of previously observed mitochondrial introgression between I. galani and I. monticola, and the lack of divergence between disjoint populations of I. monticola. Bioclimatic projections accordingly depict broader historical ranges during the last glacial maximum compared to interglacial and current conditions. At the intraspecific level, genomic analyses of four high-elevation species reveal that genetic structure is mainly shaped by isolation-by-distance and, in I. cyreni, by separation among mountain ranges, while heterozygosity generally decreases with elevation. These findings are consistent with the impact of glacial-interglacial cycles on the genetic diversity of montane taxa: populations experience genetic isolation and altitudinal bottlenecks during interglacial periods, but are reconnected and admix in lowland areas during glacial periods. These processes are expected to leave contrasting signatures between the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, as well as between slow- and fast-evolving molecular markers. From a conservation perspective, our results highlight that the genetically richest – and potentially most adaptive – populations occur at the lowland edges of the species’ ranges, where they are also most vulnerable to climate change.

理解驱动山地爬行动物多样性的过程需要对物种多样性在进化尺度上的全面研究。本文对主要生活在欧洲西南部高海拔地区的八种伊比利亚蜥蜴进行了系统地理学研究。利用基因组数据，我们重建了一个核系统发育，与线粒体证据一致，支持所有目前公认的物种的分歧。值得注意的是，我们在西班牙中部发现了I. cyreni和I. martinezricai之间的历史核基因流动，这表明过去的范围重叠，让人想起之前观察到的I. galani和I. monticola之间的线粒体渗入，以及I. monticola不相交的种群之间缺乏分化。因此，与间冰期和当前条件相比，生物气候预估在末次极盛期描绘了更广泛的历史范围。在种内水平上，对4个高海拔物种的基因组分析表明，遗传结构主要是由距离隔离形成的，在cyreni中，遗传结构主要是由山脉间的分离形成的，而杂合性通常随着海拔的升高而降低。这些发现与冰期-间冰期旋回对山地类群遗传多样性的影响是一致的：种群在间冰期经历遗传隔离和高度瓶颈，但在冰期在低地地区重新连接和混合。这些过程预计会在线粒体和核基因组之间，以及在缓慢和快速进化的分子标记之间留下对比的特征。从保护的角度来看，我们的研究结果强调，基因最丰富的种群——也可能是最具适应性的种群——出现在物种分布范围的低地边缘，在那里它们也最容易受到气候变化的影响。

The tribe Scymnini Mulsant, 1846 (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is a species-rich and ecologically diverse group widely recognized for its role as a biocontrol agent against homopterous insects, including aphids, psyllids, mealybugs, and whiteflies. However, the phylogenetic relationships within Scymnini and their evolutionary history remain poorly understood. We present what is, to our knowledge, the first most taxonomically comprehensive molecular phylogeny of the tribe to date, with emphasis on the Asian lineage, aiming to establish a framework for future studies on this ecologically significant insect group. Phylogenetic trees were inferred using maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches based on five nuclear and three mitochondrial markers, comprising a total of 4,935 bp. The ingroup included 94 Scymnini taxa, complemented by 40 outgroup species representing diverse coccinellid subfamilies and tribes, to test the phylogenetic relationships among Asian Scymnini. Our results indicate that the Asian Scymnini is paraphyletic, with Axinoscymnus, Slipinskiscymnus, and Clitostethus forming a distinct clade separate from the main Asian Scymnini lineage. Despite this, the analysis strongly supports the monophyly of these genera, along with Nephus, Sasajiscymnus, Nephaspis, and Horniolus. Additionally, the Asian Scymnus was recovered as paraphyletic, as two species of the subgenus Scymnus (Orthoscymnus) Canepari formed a well-supported clade distinct from the main Scymnus lineage. Molecular dating based on fossil record suggests that generic diversification within the Asian Scymnini occurred between the Paleocene and Miocene, while the common ancestor of Coccinellidae dates back to the Early Cretaceous, approximately 143 Ma. Our results provide a novel phylogenetic framework for revising Scymnini classification and offer new insights into its evolutionary history, with broader implications for understanding Coccinellidae phylogeny.

Scymnini Mulsant, 1846（鞘翅目：瓢虫科）是一个物种丰富、生态多样的类群，被广泛认为是一种生物防治剂，可防治同型昆虫，包括蚜虫、木虱、粉虱和白蝇。然而，Scymnini的系统发育关系及其进化史仍然知之甚少。据我们所知，这是迄今为止第一个在分类学上最全面的部落分子系统发育，重点是亚洲血统，旨在为未来研究这一生态意义重大的昆虫类群建立一个框架。基于5个核标记和3个线粒体标记，使用最大似然和贝叶斯方法推断系统发育树，共包含4,935 bp。内群包括94个伞虫分类群，外加40个代表不同伞虫亚科和部落的外群种，以检验亚洲伞虫的系统发育关系。我们的研究结果表明，亚洲scymninus具有副系，axinoscymus、Slipinskiscymnus和cliitostethus形成了一个与亚洲scymninus主要谱系分离的独立分支。尽管如此，该分析强烈支持这些属的单系性，以及Nephus， Sasajiscymnus， Nephaspis和Horniolus。此外，亚洲Scymnus被恢复为副属，因为Scymnus (Orthoscymnus) Canepari亚属的两个种形成了一个与主要scymus谱系不同的良好支持的分支。基于化石记录的分子定年研究表明，亚洲星尾虫属的多样性发生在古新世至中新世之间，而星尾虫科的共同祖先可以追溯到早白垩世，大约143ma。我们的研究结果为修正球虫分类提供了一个新的系统发育框架，并对其进化史提供了新的见解，对理解球虫科的系统发育具有更广泛的意义。

The true lemurs (genus Eulemur) are a genetically diverse and spatially widespread group of species inhabiting most of Madagascar’s forests. Including 12 recognized species, the genus can be divided into four major evolutionary groups: E. rubriventer, E. mongoz, the Brown Lemur Species Complex (BLSC), and the coronatus-macaco-flavifrons complex (CMFC), although monophyly for the CMFC is not always supported. Recent genome-based studies highlighted topological and chronological differences between nuclear and mitochondrial phylogenies of true lemurs, which could be explained by events of hybridisation. In order to reconstruct the evolutionary history of the genus, we test for gene-flow between Eulemur clades using a set of whole genome sequences representative of the diversity of the genus. Events of hybridization among true lemurs clades were identified, explaining discordances between mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies and providing the context for mito-nuclear co-evolution, which we detected for E. rubriventer. Overall, by directly testing for hybridization among Eulemur species, we developed an evolutionary model that deepens our understanding of the unique and complex history of the genus Eulemur, and sets it as a starting point for future research.

真正的狐猴（狐猴属）是一种基因多样化且在空间上广泛分布的物种，栖息在马达加斯加的大部分森林中。该属包括12个已知物种，可分为四个主要进化群：E. rubriventer， E. mongoz，褐狐猴物种复合体（BLSC）和冠状猴-猕猴-黄酮类复合体（CMFC），尽管CMFC的单系性并不总是得到支持。最近基于基因组的研究强调了真狐猴的核和线粒体系统发育之间的拓扑和时间差异，这可以用杂交事件来解释。为了重建该属的进化历史，我们使用一组代表该属多样性的全基因组序列来测试Eulemur分支之间的基因流动。鉴定了真狐猴分支间的杂交事件，解释了线粒体和核系统发育之间的不一致，并为我们在rubriventer中检测到的核-核共同进化提供了背景。总的来说，通过直接测试Eulemur物种之间的杂交，我们建立了一个进化模型，加深了我们对Eulemur属独特而复杂的历史的理解，并将其作为未来研究的起点。

Polyploidy, particularly allopolyploidy resulting from interspecific hybridization followed by chromosome duplication, plays a key role in plant diversification and ecological success. Chenopodium album s. str. is one of the world’s most widespread and morphologically variable weeds, yet the timing and mechanism of its origin as an allohexaploid (2n = 6x = 54) remained unresolved. Using RADseq data, this study investigated the origin of ‘BBCCDD’ allohexaploid C. album s. str. and closely related hexaploid taxa by analyzing their relationship to putative diploid progenitors with the ‘BB’ genome (C. ficifolium, C. suecicum, C. ucrainicum) and tetraploid species with the ‘CCDD’ subgenomic combination (C. betaceum, C. glaucophyllum, C. novopokrovskyanum, C. striatiforme). The genomic sequences were mapped to the chromosome-scale reference genome of C. formosanum, a closely related allohexaploid. Results reveal that C. album s. str. does not genetically align with contemporary diploid or tetraploid taxa, suggesting its origin from extinct ancestors rather than ongoing hybridization. Both its ‘BB’ and ‘CCDD’ subgenomes show higher or comparable number of genetic lineages, respectively, than its extant di- and tetraploid relatives, implying conservation of ancestral variation in the allohexaploid. Furthermore, 16 distinct subgenomic combinations were identified within C. album s. str., confirming its polytopic and repeated origin across geographic regions. This explains the remarkable morphological and ecological plasticity observed across its range. This research underscores C. album s. str. as an ancient, stabilized, and globally invasive polyploid, shaped by multiple hybridization events and fixed heterozygosity, offering parallels with other polyploid species such as Triticum/Aegilops complex.

多倍体，特别是由种间杂交和染色体复制引起的异源多倍体，在植物多样化和生态成功中起着关键作用。Chenopodium album s. str.是世界上分布最广、形态最多变的杂草之一，但其作为异源六倍体（2n = 6x = 54）起源的时间和机制尚未明确。本研究利用RADseq数据，通过分析“BBCCDD”异源六倍体C. album s.str .及其近缘六倍体类群与具有“BB”基因组的二倍体祖先（C. ficifolium、C. suecicum、C. ucrainicum）和具有“CCDD”亚基因组组合的四倍体物种（C. betaceum、C. glaucophyllum、C. novopokrovskyanum、C. striatiformme）的关系，探讨了它们的起源。基因组序列被定位到近缘异源六倍体的参比基因组。结果表明，C. album s. str.与当代二倍体或四倍体类群在遗传上不一致，表明其起源于已灭绝的祖先，而不是正在进行的杂交。它的“BB”和“CCDD”亚基因组分别显示出比其现有的二倍体和四倍体亲属更高或相当数量的遗传谱系，这意味着同种异体六倍体祖先变异的保存。此外，在C. album s. str.中鉴定出16种不同的亚基因组组合，证实了其在不同地理区域的多变性和重复起源。这解释了在其分布范围内观察到的显著的形态和生态可塑性。本研究强调C. album s.s r r是一种古老的、稳定的、具有全球入侵性的多倍体，由多次杂交事件和固定杂合性形成，与其他多倍体物种如Triticum/Aegilops复合体有相似之处。
