==The Genus ''Mimulus''==

===''Mimulus guttatus''  Complex===
*Check out the [http://www.isu.edu/~bearpau2/Mimposter.html poster] of the phylogeny of the ''Mimulus'' genus.  


The ''Mimulus guttatus'' species complex (yellow monkey flowers) is a group of closely related species exhibiting the common evolutionary transition from outcrossing to self-pollination. ''Mimulus'' presents an excellent model system for studies of evolution because of its broad diversity of floral morphologies, incomplete reproductive barriers, and its amenability to experimental manipulation.
* Read a recent review about [http://www.nature.com/hdy/journal/vaop/ncurrent/abs/6801018a.html;jsessionid=6761F6C5882CFD97F5AF796018F91361  ''Mimulus'' as an emerging model system for the integration of ecological and genomic studies.]


===''Mimulus lewisii''  Complex===
*See descriptions of [[Mimulus Species]]
Mimulus section Erythranthe is a western North American group of perennial wildflowers with a wide diversity of floral forms. Included within this section are the bee-pollinated M. lewisii and the hummingbird-pollinated M. cardinalis. This system has a long history of study (1), and continues to be the subject of active research in systematics (2) and the genetics and ecology of speciation (3-5). Another close relative of M. lewisii is the lesser-studied M. parishii, which is a small-flowered, highly selfing species of the desert Southwest. The diversity of pollination syndrome, mating system, and habitat preference found within this section makes it a uniquely amenable model system for studies in ecology, genetics, and evolutionary biology of natural populations.
