Abstract
A broad difference in the frequencies of plant and animal polyploidy (whole-genome duplication, WGD) has been recognized since the early 20th century (e.g. Gates, 1924; Dobzhansky, 1937; Stebbins, 1950), and is generally supported by numerous studies of plant and animal karyotypes, genome sizes, and phylogenies (Otto & Whitton, 2000; Gregory & Mable, 2005). Recent polyploidy (within a single species) is broadly common in plants (Otto & Whitton,...
