Evolution in Carex L. sect. Spirostachyae (Cyperaceae): A molecular and cytogenetic approach

Narrow endemics of the Almeria Province (Andalusia, Spain) differ in their traits and ecological niche compared to their more widespread congeners

“…Numbers of populations, numbers of individuals and occupancy areas are from Bañares et al (2010), Blanca et al (1999Blanca et al ( , 2000, Cabezudo et al (2005), Mota et al (2003) and Moreno (2008). Numbers of chromosomes are from Castroviejo et al (1986Castroviejo et al ( -2012, Blanca et al (2011) and for the genus Carex, Escudero et al (2008). Life form: Nananophanerophyte, Ch -chamaephyte, He -hemicryptophyte, Ge -geophyte, Th -therophyte.…”

“…The duration of flowering was calculated as the number of months between the earliest and the latest month of flowering as reported in the aforementioned floras. Ploidy level was also obtained from the floras and from Escudero et al (2008) for Carex.…”

Biogeography of Flowering Plants: A Case Study in Mignonettes (Resedaceae) and Sedges (Carex, Cyperaceae)

“…In Carex sect. Spirostachyae, molecular phylogenies based on nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS and plastid 5´trnK intron sequences tested the monophyly of the section and established its main lineages (Escudero et al, 2008a;Escudero & Luceño, 2009). Subsequently, several studies addressing biodiversity and biogeographic questions www.intechopen.com…”

Taxonomic revision of the tropical African group of <i>Carex</i> subsect. <i>Elatae</i> (sect. <i>Spirostachyae</i>, Cyperaceae)

“…Elatae by Kükenthal (1909) but none were from the tropical African group. Escudero et al (2008) made the first molecular (nrDNA) phylogeny of Carex sect. Spirostachyae in a study that also included seven species previously treated in sect.…”
