Phylogenomics, ecomorphological evolution, and historical biogeography in <i>Deuterocohnia</i> (Bromeliaceae: Pitcairnioideae)
Our results imply rapid adaptive divergence (e.g., in strobilifera-chrysantha), convergent evolution (two origins of the cushion growth-form), phylogeny consistent with form in some cases (e.g., seramisiana-brevispicata-meziana) and recurrent effects of the Rio Pilcomayo barrier on speciation and chloroplast capture.
