1.
The enigmatic tropical alpine flora on the African sky islands is young, disturbed, and unsaturated
Kandziora M, Gehrke B, Popp M, Gizaw A, Brochmann C, Pirie M
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2022 May; 119(22):e2112737119. PMID: 35617436
Tropical alpine floras are renowned for high endemism, spectacular giant rosette plants testifying to convergent adaptation to harsh climates with nightly frosts, and recruitment dominated by long-distance dispersal from remote...

Afro-alpine flagships revisited: Parallel adaptation, intermountain admixture and shallow genetic structuring in the giant senecios (Dendrosenecio)
Tusiime F, Gizaw A, Gussarova G, Nemomissa S, Popp M, Masao C, et al.
PLoS One . 2020 Mar; 15(3):e0228979. PMID: 32187202
Distantly related lineages of the enigmatic giant rosette plants of tropical alpine environments provide classical examples of convergent adaptation. For the giant senecios (Dendrosenecio), the endemic landmarks of the East...
3.
Sweet vernal grasses (Anthoxanthum) colonized African mountains along two fronts in the Late Pliocene, followed by secondary contact, polyploidization and local extinction in the Pleistocene
Tusiime F, Gizaw A, Wondimu T, Masao C, Abdi A, Muwanika V, et al.
Mol Ecol . 2017 Apr; 26(13):3513-3532. PMID: 28390111
High tropical mountains harbour remarkable and fragmented biodiversity thought to a large degree to have been shaped by multiple dispersals of cold-adapted lineages from remote areas. Few dated phylogenetic/phylogeographic analyses...

DNA Metabarcoding Reveals Diet Overlap between the Endangered Walia Ibex and Domestic Goats - Implications for Conservation
Gebremedhin B, Flagstad O, Bekele A, Chala D, Bakkestuen V, Boessenkool S, et al.
PLoS One . 2016 Jul; 11(7):e0159133. PMID: 27416020
Human population expansion and associated degradation of the habitat of many wildlife species cause loss of biodiversity and species extinctions. The small Simen Mountains National Park in Ethiopia is one...
5.
Colonization and diversification in the African 'sky islands': insights from fossil-calibrated molecular dating of Lychnis (Caryophyllaceae)
Gizaw A, Brochmann C, Nemomissa S, Wondimu T, Masao C, Tusiime F, et al.
New Phytol . 2016 Apr; 211(2):719-34. PMID: 27037925
The flora on the isolated high African mountains or 'sky islands' is remarkable for its peculiar adaptations, local endemism and striking biogeographical connections to remote parts of the world. Ages...

RAD-seq data point to a northern origin of the arctic-alpine genus Cassiope (Ericaceae)
Hou Y, Nowak M, Mirre V, Bjora C, Brochmann C, Popp M
Mol Phylogenet Evol . 2015 Dec; 95:152-60. PMID: 26691641
Many arctic-alpine plants display a highly disjunct distribution between the Arctic/Boreal regions and the southern Asian mountains. Two main hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin of this biogeographic...

Thousands of RAD-seq Loci Fully Resolve the Phylogeny of the Highly Disjunct Arctic-Alpine Genus Diapensia (Diapensiaceae)
Hou Y, Nowak M, Mirre V, Bjora C, Brochmann C, Popp M
PLoS One . 2015 Oct; 10(10):e0140175. PMID: 26448557
Restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) has recently become an important method to generate genome-wide molecular data for species delimitation, phylogeography, and population genetic studies. However, very few empirical studies have...
8.
The evolutionary history of Afrocanarian blue tits inferred from genomewide SNPs
Gohli J, Leder E, Garcia-Del-Rey E, Johannessen L, Johnsen A, Laskemoen T, et al.
Mol Ecol . 2014 Nov; 24(1):180-91. PMID: 25407440
A common challenge in phylogenetic reconstruction is to find enough suitable genomic markers to reliably trace splitting events with short internodes. Here, we present phylogenetic analyses based on genomewide single-nucleotide...
9.
Use of ancient sedimentary DNA as a novel conservation tool for high-altitude tropical biodiversity
Boessenkool S, McGlynn G, Epp L, Taylor D, Pimentel M, Gizaw A, et al.
Conserv Biol . 2013 Dec; 28(2):446-55. PMID: 24372820
Conservation of biodiversity may in the future increasingly depend upon the availability of scientific information to set suitable restoration targets. In traditional paleoecology, sediment-based pollen provides a means to define...
10.
Hybridization and long-distance colonization at different time scales: towards resolution of long-term controversies in the sweet vernal grasses (Anthoxanthum)
Pimentel M, Sahuquillo E, Torrecilla Z, Popp M, Catalan P, Brochmann C
Ann Bot . 2013 Aug; 112(6):1015-30. PMID: 23912698
Background And Aims: Repeated hybridization and/or polyploidization confound classification and phylogenetic inference, and multiple colonizations at different time scales complicate biogeographical reconstructions. This study investigates whether such processes can explain...
