ResearchResearch in the lab focuses on the discovery and classification of plant biodiversity of temperate, boreal and arctic-alpine areas. Studies have tackled subjects going from new species description to biogeography, phylogenomics and co-evolution between plants and fungal parasites. Most projects focus on Cyperaceae (sedges, >5600 species), one of the largest plant families in northern areas. However, we occasionally work on other plant families.QCBS studentsMaurane BourgouinPh.D. Relevant QCBS research themesExamples of species studiedCarex Racemosae Cyperaceae Claviceps zizaniae Cariceae Rhodoscirpus Rosaceae Poales Pucciniaceae Najas gracillima Publications22- Comparative Genomics Elucidates the Origin of a Supergene Controlling Floral Heteromorphism Journal Article , 2022 Molecular Biology and Evolution (Date Added: 2022-09-07) 21- Different molecular changes underlie the same phenotypic transition: Origins and consequences of independent shifts to homostyly within species Journal Article , 2021 Molecular Ecology (Date Added: 2022-09-07) 20- A framework infrageneric classification of Carex (Cyperaceae) and its organizing principles Journal Article , 2021 Journal of Systematics and Evolution (Date Added: 2022-09-07) 19- Carex ×payettei, a new hybrid of Carex sect.
