Evolutionary biology: a new phylogenetic framework for an iconic plant radiation

Studies in island systems underpin much of our knowledge of macroevolution. A new study of the Galápagos giant daisies adds to this tradition. A time-calibrated phylogeny is presented that offers insights into the factors associated with diversification, providing a framework for further studies to...
