Macroevolutionary dynamics of Androsace s.l . (Primulaceae) across the Northern Hemisphere

Abstract Mountain regions of the Northern Hemisphere harbor exceptional biodiversity, yet the processes underlying species diversification and migration among these regions remain poorly understood. This study investigates the macroevolutionary dynamics of Androsace s.l ., a genu...

Plant species identification by genome skimming across the vascular plant tree of life

Summary Accurate species identification is essential for biodiversity conservation and sustainable use, yet standard plant DNA barcoding often fails to achieve species‐level resolution. We present a large‐scale empirical evaluation of genome skimming as a tool to improve plant sp...

Synergies and trade-offs for reaching global biodiversity and climate commitments

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework strives to expand high-quality protected areas globally, yet faces economic constraints, climate change and human pressures. This requires integrating biological and socio-economic complexity while ensuring equity. We explore mul...
