Abstract

Fernández-Mazuecos et al. use phylogenomic tools to investigate the radiation of Scalesia (“Darwin's finches of the plant world”) in the natural laboratory of the Galápagos Islands. By reconstructing diversification of the 15 species in space and time, they shed light on evolutionary patterns and processes in island plant radiations.
