    Phylogeny and evolution of the South African genus Metalasia (Asteraceae-Gnaphalieae) inferred from molecular and morphological data2014In: Botanical journal of the Linnean Society, ISSN 0024-4074, E-ISSN 1095-8339, Vol. 174, no 2, p. 173-198Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Metalasia is a genus in tribe Gnaphalieae (Asteraceae), endemic to South Africa and with its main distribution in the Cape Floristic Region. The genus comprises 57 species and, with a number of closely related genera, it constitutes the Metalasia clade'. A species-level phylogenetic analysis is presented, based on DNA sequences from two nuclear (internal and external transcribed spacer: ITS, ETS) and two plastid (psbA-trnH, trnL-trnF) regions together with morphological data. Analyses combining molecular and morphological data attempt not only to resolve species interrelationships, but also to detect patterns in character evolution. Phylogenetic analyses corroborate our earlier study and demonstrate that Metalasia is formed of two equally sized, well-supported sister groups, one of which is characterized by papillose cypselas. The results differ greatly from earlier hypotheses based on morphology alone, as few morphological characters support the phylogenetic patterns obtained. The two clades of Metalasia do, however, appear to differ in distribution, corresponding to the different rainfall regimes of South Africa. Analyses show a few taxa to be problematic; one example is the widely distributed M.densa which appears to be an intricate species complex.

    PHYLOGENY AND GENERIC DELIMITATION OF THE METALASIA CLADE (ASTERACEAE-GNAPHALIEAE)2011In: International journal of plant sciences, ISSN 1058-5893, E-ISSN 1537-5315, Vol. 172, no 8, p. 1067-1075Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The Metalasia clade, which consists of the genus Metalasia and a number of much smaller satellite genera, is a South African group in the tribe Gnaphalieae (Asteraceae). This study scrutinizes the phylogenetic relationships of the Metalasia clade by means of chloroplast (trnL-trnF, psbA-trnH) and nuclear (external transcribed spacer, internal transcribed spacer) sequence data. The Metalasia clade is confirmed to be a monophyletic group, and the phylogenetic positions of the included genera are determined. The genus Metalasia may be monophyletic if the monotypic Planea is included, but the node has very poor support and further studies are needed. The Metalasia species fall into two well-supported groups, distinguishing the members of Karis's Metalasia densa group from the others. Lachnospermum is shown to be monophyletic and is placed as a possible sister group to Metalasia. Phaenocoma is placed as sister to the branch consisting of Metalasia and Lachnospermum. Calotesta, Hydroidea, and Atrichantha form a clade, with the monotypic Dolichothrix as their sister group.

    Evolution and diversification related to rainfall regimes: diversification patterns in the South African genus Metalasia (Asteraceae-Gnaphalieae)2015In: Journal of Biogeography, ISSN 0305-0270, E-ISSN 1365-2699, Vol. 42, no 1, p. 121-131Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    AimThe Cape region is known for its exceptional species richness, although much remains unknown regarding the appearance of the modern Cape flora. One explanation is that floral diversification was influenced by the establishment of winter rainfall/summer arid conditions hypothesized to have occurred towards the end of the Miocene. We studied the evolution and diversification of the plant genus Metalasia (Asteraceae-Gnaphalieae), with the aim of testing whether radiation patterns may have been influenced by the climatic changes. LocationSouth Africa, with emphasis on the south-west. MethodsThe radiation of Metalasia was investigated using two approaches: a species diffusion approach, which estimated the ancestral areas by means of a relaxed random walk while sampling from extant distributions; and a discrete approach, in which distributions were defined according to the phytogeographical centres of the Cape region. Secondarily derived clock rates from an earlier Gnaphalieae study were used for calibration purposes. ResultsOur analyses date Metalasia to approximately 6.9Ma, after the Miocene-Pliocene boundary and the establishment of the winter rainfall/summer arid conditions. Metalasia consists of two sister clades: Clade A and Clade B. Clade B, which is endemic to the winter rainfall area, is estimated to have diversified c. 6.4Ma, whereas Clade A, with a main distribution in the all-year rainfall area, is considerably younger, with a crown group age estimated to 3.3Ma. Diversification rates suggest an early rapid speciation, with rates decreasing through time both for Metalasia and for clades A and B separately. Ancestral area estimations show a possible scenario for the radiation of Metalasia to its current diversity and distribution, with no conflict between results inferred from diffusion or discrete methods. Main conclusionsThe diversification of Metalasia is estimated to have begun after the establishment of the winter rainfall/summer arid conditions, consistent with its radiation having been influenced by changes in the climatic regime.

    Abstract [en]

    The study of plant speciation on oceanic islands has improved enormously with the help of molecular systematics. Studies have targeted groups present on both the mainland and islands with the aim of understanding plant migration and evolution in isolation. In addition, relatively young volcanic islands give the opportunity to place the evolutionary process in a time frame, by dating molecular trees according to the age of the islands or by relying on the fossil record. Molecular phylogenetics can also be valuable in helping to reconstruct character evolution and understand the syndrome of characters diagnosing oceanic species.

    Reassessing taxonomic relationships in the Berkheya clade (Asteraceae, Arctotideae-Gorteriinae): the utility of achene morphology2016In: Phytotaxa, ISSN 1179-3155, E-ISSN 1179-3163, Vol. 246, no 1, p. 1-22Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The genus Berkheya is paraphyletic with the related genera Cullumia, Cuspidia, Didelta and Heterorhachis embedded within a broader clade termed the 'Berkheya clade'. As a contribution towards reassessment of species relationships and delimitation of species groupings within the clade, the utility of external achene morphology for supporting natural species groups within the clade was evaluated. Achenes from 67 species and 10 infraspecific taxa were examined, including representatives of each genus currently recognised in the Berkheya clade. Achene pubescence and pappus characteristics (e.g., scale shape and number of scales within a series) were indicated to be particularly variable and thus less reliable for assessment of species relationships. Of the currently recognised genera, only segregation of Cullumia was supported by achene and pappus characteristics. Species groupings implicit in Roessler's infrageneric classification of eight series within Berkheya were to a large extent supported. However, in particular, series Speciosae was indicated to be a disparate species grouping and the distinction of series Angustae and Cruciatae is not supported by achene and pappus morphology. Achene and pappus characteristics suggest several novel species groupings (e.g. an affinity between Berkheya cuneata, B. ferox and B. spinosa). Although the taxonomic sampling in published molecular phylogenetic analyses is limited, achene and pappus morphology partially supports clades resolved in prevailing phylogenetic reconstructions for the clade. More complete sampling in future molecular phylogenetic analyses is required to test novel species affinities suggested in the present study and to explore the evolution of the achene and pappus in the Berkheya clade.

    Intergeneric relationships in the Gorteria clade of Arctotideae-Gorteriinae (Asteraceae), with description of a new genus, Roessleria2018In: South African Journal of Botany, ISSN 0254-6299, E-ISSN 1727-9321, Vol. 118, p. 216-231Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Previous phylogenetic studies in the Arctotideae-Gorteriinae (Asteraceae) have found support for a Gorteria clade. The results also indicated Hirpicium to be paraphyletic, whereas Gorteria and Gazania were found to be monophyletic. Previous investigations at the genus level on this group have focused only on relationships in Gazania and Gorteria, respectively, with only a few Hirpicium species included. In the present study we include more taxa than in any previous investigation, including all species of Hirpicium, all species of Gorteria and almost all taxa of Gazania. Phylogenetic analyses, based on DNA sequence data from non-coding (rps16, trnL-trnF, and psbA-trnH) as well as coding (ndhF) regions from the plastid genome resolved three major clades, but DNA sequence data from the ribosomal regions (ETS and ITS) from the nuclear genome did not support two of the three clades. The genus Hirpicium, as presently circumscribed, was paraphyletic with one group of four species nested within Gorteria and all remaining species of Hirpicium formed a monophyletic group with two clades, morphologically well-defined. As the name Hirpicium is a synonym of Gorteria, new names for the remaining Hirpicium species are proposed. For one of the Hirpicium clades, comprising Hirpicium echinus, we resurrect the genus Berkheyopsis O. Hoffm., and for the five species belonging to the second clade a new generic name, Roessleria Stangb. & Anderb., is proposed. The necessary new combinations, 12 in total, are made, as well as four lectotypifications and one neotypification. A key to the newly circumscribed genera is presented.
