Gourds and squashes (Cucurbita spp.) adapted to megafaunal extinction and ecological anachronism through domestication (2015)
Journal Article

The genus Cucurbita (squashes, pumpkins, gourds) contains numerous domesticated lineages with ancient New World origins. It was broadly distributed in the past but has declined to the point that several of the crops' progenitor species are scarce or...

Are current ecological restoration practices capturing natural levels of genetic diversity? A New Zealand case study using AFLP and ISSR data from mahoe (Melicytus ramiflorus) (2015)
Journal Article

© New Zealand Ecological Society. Sourcing plant species of local provenance (eco-sourcing) has become standard practice in plantcommunity restoration projects. Along with established ecological restoration practices, knowledge of genetic variation i...

Using archaeogenomic and computational approaches to unravel the history of local adaptation in crops (2015)
Journal Article

© 2014 The Author(s) Published by the Royal Society. All rights reserved. Our understanding of the evolution of domestication has changed radically in the past 10 years, from a relatively simplistic rapid origin scenario to a protracted complex proce...

Archaeogenomic insights into the adaptation of plants to the human environment: Pushing plant-hominin co-evolution back to the Pliocene (2015)
Journal Article

© 2014 The Authors. The colonization of the human environment by plants, and the consequent evolution of domesticated forms is increasingly being viewed as a co-evolutionary plant-human process that occurred over a long time period, with evidence for...
