Plant Systematics and Evolution - Collections

Below are some article collections organized by thematic area. We hope you enjoy, and thank you to all of our authors for contributing to Plant Systematics and Evolution (PSE)!

Plants of the Balkan Peninsula in Space and Time (this opens in a new tab)

Living at its dry limits: Tilliandsiales in the Atacama Desert (this opens in a new tab)

Biogeography of the Carpathians (this opens in a new tab) (2019-2021)
The ever-increasing scientific interest for the biogeography of the Carpathian Region required a dedicated framework for sharing ideas and results in order to provide a clearer and thorough overview. This led to the establishment of the Biogeography of the Carpathians series of conferences. 

Polyploid evolution (this opens in a new tab) (2018-19)
Polyploidy or whole-genome duplication is recognized as being present in almost all lineages of higher plants and is considered a major driving force of plant evolution. Read here (this opens in a new tab).

Plant Reproduction (this opens in a new tab) (2018-19)
The evolution of floral parts and their function in breeding systems directly determine the success of plants. The intent of this collection is to collate recent studies published in PSE that enhance our understanding of the diversity in flowering plant reproductive traits and patterns as well as their systematic importance.

Fungi (this opens in a new tab)(2016-18)
One of the aims of Plant Systematics and Evolution is to increase both the authorship and readership of the journal from the mycological scientific community. This collection brings together papers with fungi as a common theme published in our journal over the last years. We hope that the below articles will be of interest to mycologist and other researchers working in this area. Read here (this opens in a new tab).

Orchids (this opens in a new tab)– fascinating diversity (2015-18)
With this collection, we would like to bring attention to a number of recent contributions on Orchidaceae, one of the largest families of flowering plants, published in Plant Systematics and Evolution. Read here (this opens in a new tab).
