Available information on the phylogeny and pollination systems in Protea suggests that bird-pollination is ancestral and occurs in the majority of species, and that there have been several shifts to rodent pollination and a single shift to pollination by cetoniine beetles in this large African genus...
). However, studies on molecular phylogeny of the species have confirmed their American origin. Mexico and the south-west United States were established as the main center of origin and evolution of the genus, and therefore, the center of diversity (e.g. Symon and Haegi, 1991, Daunay et ...
teaceae, including all genera. Analyses of this phylogeny sug- gested that some clades within the family diversified significantly more rapidly than the family-wide background rate, and that clades present in Mediterranean-type hotspots diversified more ...

2012. The conservation of mitochondrial genome sequence in Leucadendron (Proteaceae). Biodiversitas 13: 00-00. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is useful for developing molecular markers and for studying plant phylogeny. However, its usefulness depends on the degree of detectable sequence variation. In seven...
PhylogenyPlant DiseasesMolecular Sequence DataProteaceaeMany plant pathogenic foliicolous fungi recorded on Proteaceae hosts in South Africa are reminiscent of members of the Mycosphaerellaceae and their anamorphs. However, these fungi are often unusual and specific to the Proteaceae, and have proved ...
Differentiation of species of Elsinoe’’ associated with scab disease of Proteaceae based on morphology, symptomatology, and ITS sequence phylogeny. Swart, L,Crous, P.W,Kang, J.-C,Mchau, G.R,Pascoe, I,Palm, M.E. Mycologia . 2001
I have combined phylogeny with distributional, physiological, and ecological data in order to explore trait evolution and correlations with soil phosphorus in a small focal clade (22 spp.) of endemic to the SWAFR. This project contains three parts: (1) phylogenetic reconstruction and biogeographic...
phylogenyThe derivation, utility, and implications of a divergence index for the fynbos genus Leucadendron (Proteaceae). The genus Leucadendron is useful for a phylogenetic study because it contains many species (79), is morphologically very diverse and appears to have diverged early on in the ...
