    • Generic recircumscriptions of Oncidiinae (Orchidaceae: Cymbidieae) based on maximum likelihood analysis of combined DNA datasets 

      Neubig, Kurt M.; Whitten, W. Mark; Williams, Norris H.; Blanco Coto, Mario Alberto; Endara, Carmen Lorena; Burleigh, Gordon; Silvera, Katia; Cushman, John C.; Chase, Mark W. (2012)
      Phylogenetic relationships within the orchid subtribe Oncidiinae sensu Chase were inferred using maximum likelihood analyses of single and multilocus DNA sequence data sets. Analyses included both nuclear ribosomal internal ...
    • In Memoriam: Dr. William Mark Whitten (1954−2019) 

      Blanco Coto, Mario Alberto; Chase, Mark W.; Endara, Carmen Lorena; Mirenda, Thomas; Neubig, Kurt M. (2019)
      The world of orchid academia was rocked on April 12, 2019 when the shocking and completely unexpected news that Mark Whitten had passed began to circulate. Many readers of Orchids magazine may not be familiar with ...
    • Molecular phylogenetics of Maxillaria and related genera (Orchidaceae: Cymbidieae) based on combined molecular data sets 

      Whitten, W. Mark; Blanco Coto, Mario Alberto; Williams, Norris H.; Koehler, Samantha; Carnevali Fernández-Concha, Germán; Singer, Rodrigo B.; Endara, Carmen Lorena; Neubig, Kurt M. (2007-11)
      The orchid genus Maxillaria is one of the largest and most common of neotropical orchid genera, but its current generic boundaries and relationships have long been regarded as artificial. Phylogenetic relationships within ...
    • Obituary: William Mark Whitten (1954−2019) 

      Blanco Coto, Mario Alberto; Neubig, Kurt M.; Endara, Carmen Lorena; Silvera, Katia; Molgo, Iwan E.; Carlsward, Barbara (2019)
      On April 11, 2019, Dr. William Mark Whitten, a prolific neotropical orchid biologist passed away unexpectedly. He leaves an extensive corpus of work focused on (but not limited to) orchid pollination and systematics, ...
    • Phylogenetic utility of ycf1 in orchids: a plastid gene more variable than matK 

      Neubig, Kurt M.; Whitten, W. Mark; Carlsward, Barbara; Blanco Coto, Mario Alberto; Endara, Carmen Lorena; Williams, Norris H.; Moore, Michael (2008-11-12)
      Plastid DNA sequences have been widely used by systematists for reconstructing plant phylogenies. The utility of any DNA region for phylogenetic analysis is determined by ease of amplification and sequencing, confidence ...
    • Preliminary molecular phylogenetics of Sobralia and relatives (Orchidaceae: Sobralieae) 

      Neubig, Kurt M.; Whitten, W. Mark; Blanco Coto, Mario Alberto; Endara, Carmen Lorena; Williams, Norris H.; Koehler, Samantha (2011-12)
      With over 200 species, the orchid tribe Sobralieae is a major constituent of the Neotropical flora. As currently circumscribed, the tribe includes four genera: Elleanthus, Epilyna, Sertifera, and Sobralia. Most species ...
