• Diploid and Tetraploid Cytotypes of Centaurea stoebe (Asteraceae) in Central Europe: Morphological Differentiation and Cytotype Distribution Patterns (2008, background): “Nevertheless, even if the cytotypes represent distinct biological entities, present taxonomic treatments largely rely on a morphology-based concept, and assessment of their morphological differentiation is therefore still highly relevant (Rowley 2007; Soltis et al. 2007).”
• The frequency of polyploid speciation in vascular plants (2009, background): “This fraction has been estimated on a smaller scale elsewhere for angiosperms (19, 32).”
• Geographical Parthenogenesis: Opportunities for Asexuality (2009, background): “In Chamerion angustifolium, which is widespread in North America, diploids occupy the northern part and tetraploids the southern part of the distribution range ( Soltis et al. 2007 ).”
• Polyploidy, the Nucleotype, and Novelty: The Impact of Genome Doubling on the Biology of the Cell (2019, background): “…as the success of polyploids relative to diploids (e.g., Mayrose et al. 2011; Soltis et al. 2014a; Kellogg 2016; Van de Peer et al. 2017; Landis et al. 2018) and of autopolyploids relative to allopolyploids (Soltis et al. 2007; Parisod et al. 2010; Barker et al. 2016a) continue to be debated today.”
• The role of hybridization in plant speciation. (2009, background): “Thus, distinct species status is warranted for many, if not most, autopolyploids (184), as in Zea perennis and Z.”
• Reproductive isolation and the causes of speciation rate variation in nature (2016, background): “For example, autopolyploid lineages in plants are generally not recognized as distinct from the progenitor species, even when such recognition is potentially warranted under the BSC (Soltis et al., 2007).”
• The “Polyploid Hop”: Shifting Challenges and Opportunities Over the Evolutionary Lifespan of Genome Duplications (2018, background): “As a result, their overall abundance compared to allopolyploids (where two distinct genomes are combined) have historically been underestimated (Soltis et al., 2007; Barker et al., 2016).”
• Polyploidy and angiosperm diversification. (2009, background): “…proliferation of tandem gene duplications ( Blanc and American Journal of Botany [Vol. 96 angiosperm origins ( Kim et al., 2004 ; Kramer et al., 2004 ; Buzgo et al., 2005 ; Zahn et al., 2005 ; reviewed in Irish, 2006 ; Kramer and Zimmer, 2006 ; P. Soltis et al., 2006 ; D. Soltis et al., 2007 ).”
• Evolutionary genetics of genome merger and doubling in plants. (2008, background): “Perhaps intraspecific hybridization (one definition of autopolyploidy) is a safer path to a doubled genome than interspecific crossing—our increasing appreciation of the prevalence of autopolyploidy certainly supports the notion that this is a very successful evolutionary pathway (97).”
• Patterns and processes in crop domestication: an historical review and quantitative analysis of 203 global food crops. (2012, background): “Furthermore, polyploidization provides a mechanism for sympatric speciation, by providing reproductive isolation of the new species from the co-occurring diploid form (Soltis et al., 2007).”
• Pure polyploidy: Closing the gaps in autopolyploid research (2017, background): “, 2010), differentiation between diploids and autopolyploids (Soltis et al., 2007), and the role that the specificmeiotic and genomic attributes of polyploids play in their evolutionary success (Parisod, 2010b) have all been addressed, but in relatively few biological systems.”
• Genome duplication in amphibians and fish: an extended synthesis (2011, background): “There is also increasing evidence that epigenetic changes are abundant following polyploidization and hybridization (Mittelsten Scheid et al., 1996; Matzke, Scheid & Matzke, 1999; Rodin & Riggs, 2003; Beçak & Kobashi, 2004; Chen, 2007; Paun et al., 2007; Soltis et al., 2007; Bacquet et al., 2008; Xu”
• The evolutionary consequences of polyploidy. (2007, background): “Autopolyploids are also less frequently recognized as distinct species than allopolyploids, even when they are reproductively isolated and morphologically differentiated from their diploid parents (Soltis et al., 2007).”
