APPS SPECIAL ISSUE CALL FOR PAPERS
“Branching out: Resolving plant evolution through phylogenetic networks”
Proposal submission deadline: August 26, 2024
Phylogenetic networks are increasingly used to explain difficult relationships in the plant tree of life, facilitated by the rapid development of network models and bioinformatics tools over the past decade. However, most existing models are agnostic to key features of plant biology (e.g., polyploidy, reproductive mechanisms), which creates a pressing need to develop new approaches and evaluate the robustness of state-of-the-art methods to exciting challenges in plant evolution. This special issue will highlight methods, tools, databases, and software for investigating patterns of reticulate evolution that can be applied to or make specific considerations for plants.
