this information is combined together into one #phylogenetic tree that shows which species are more closely related and which are less the overall shape of the tree and the timing of when species branched off from another one help tell the story of that group past

An interesting scientific paper on #Gilliesieae (#Amaryllidaceae), which have a limited distribution in #Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. The authors N. García and Miersia (2026) describe four #newspecies of genera #Gilliesia and #Miersia. All species are found only in specific regions of Chile and are therefore #endemic. The authors also amplified and sequenced #DNA sequences to reconstruct the #phylogenetic positions of the new species. #Biodiversityresearch

Trichosporeae is the most #species-rich, systemically complex, and #morphologically diverse tribe in the Old World Gesneriaceae. Liu et al. report 5 new genera based on molecular #phylogenetic and #morphological evidence.
