Plant and fungus systematics and taxonomy constitute foundational disciplines that underpin our understanding of biodiversity. Historically grounded in morphological and anatomical studies, these ...

Based on extensive molecular studies and critical evaluation of morphology, tribe Arabideae has recently been split into two tribes with the newly introduced tribe Stevenieae sister to the remaining ...

This survey of the plant kingdom covers the evolution, diversity, and use of plants. A comparative approach is taken to study the morphological, anatomical, and reproductive features of major plant ...

The argument is made that species should be comparable with respect to the numbers of genotypes they include, regardless of whether their reproduction is exclusively sexual or not. Specifically, this ...

Dr. Jianhua Li joined the Hope biology faculty in 2009 after working as a senior research scientist at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University for 10 years. He is currently on the executive ...

Our research focuses on understanding the nature of plant speciation and diversification using a variety of approaches. We use molecular phylogenetics to test ideas of species relationships, taxonomy, ...
