Within the taxonomically challenging genus <jats:italic>Dianthus</jats:italic>, through an integrative approach we tested the taxonomic value of <jats:italic>D. brachycalyx</jats:italic>, a putative species endemic to mountain peaks of the central‐southern Apennines, with respect to the widespread central‐Mediterranean <jats:italic>D. virgineus</jats:italic>. We measured 30 morphological characters in 452 individuals from 25 populations and obtained 3202 single nucleotide polymorphisms using ddRAD‐seq techniques in 394 individuals from 36 populations. For climatic niche comparison, we built a dataset of 348 occurrence points. By comparing morphometric, genetic, and climatic niche data, we showed that <jats:italic>D. brachycalyx</jats:italic> cannot be considered a distinct species. Morphometric separation between the two species is detectable, but high‐elevation populations of <jats:italic>D. virgineus</jats:italic> are similar to <jats:italic>D. brachycalyx</jats:italic>. Genetic analyses revealed that the genetic structure of populations of <jats:italic>D. brachycalyx</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>D. virgineus</jats:italic> is mainly shaped by isolation‐by‐distance, irrespective of their taxonomic attribution. The climatic niches of the two species are overlapping, and the niche differences are just due to different availability of climatic conditions in their ranges. Accordingly, multiple lines of evidence do not support a separation of <jats:italic>D. brachycalyx</jats:italic> from <jats:italic>D. virgineus</jats:italic>, and the former should be considered a heterotypic synonym of the latter.","PeriodicalId":49448,"journal":{"name":"Taxon","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141866478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study builds upon previous phylogenetic analyses to clarify the generic boundaries of <jats:italic>Bolanthus</jats:italic> and its associated taxa in Turkey. We used tribe‐wide molecular phylogenies and reviewed the taxonomic history to address the controversies surrounding the classification of <jats:italic>Bolanthus</jats:italic>. In 2018, a new genus, <jats:italic>Graecobolanthus</jats:italic>, was proposed for Greek members of <jats:italic>Bolanthus</jats:italic>, while the monotypic genus <jats:italic>Phrynella</jats:italic> was synonymized under <jats:italic>Bolanthus</jats:italic>.

Its relationship with the morphologically similar Kampochloa is still unclear and has not been investigated. In this study, we performed phylogenomic analyses using 71 protein‐coding genes of 24 newly sequenced plastomes, of 13 species of Ctenium and 1 species of Kampochloa to understand their biogeography and the phylogenetic and evolutionary relationships between these two genera and within Ctenium. Our results support two major clades of Ctenium: the Neotropics and Old‐World clades. Kampochloa is shown to be a close relative of the genus Ctenium, and their morphological similarities support this. Divergence time estimation analyses show that Kampochloa and Ctenium diverged around 7.99 Ma, and might have originated in the late Miocene during the rapid expansion of C4 grasslands. With this evidence from morphology and phylogenomic data, we propose the inclusion of the previously unplaced Kampochloa into the subtribe Cteniinae.","PeriodicalId":49448,"journal":{"name":"Taxon","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141648021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
