Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Cardamine is not monophyletic, with Loxostemon nested within the genus.
- Observation Diagnostic morphological characters used to delimit Loxostemon evolved repeatedly and independently.
- Observation The core HHM clade of Cardamine originated approximately 4.34 Ma.
- Observation The core HHM clade rapidly radiated between 4.34 and 1.86 Ma, temporally coincident with major uplift events of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau.
- Mechanism Rapid diversification of Cardamine was driven by reticulate evolution with incomplete lineage sorting and frequent hybridization.
