Undervalued Ecosystems: Ponds Boost Regional Macrophyte Diversity
ABSTRACT Ponds—depressional wetlands with ≤ 2 ha—are largely undervalued worldwide, despite serving as crucial diversity reservoirs. However, the extent to which ponds support diversity at the landscape scale is still underappreciated. Here, we investigate the contributions of ponds to macrophyte beta and gamma diversity in a subtropical wetland ...

Dominant Species Drive Biomass and Diversity Responses to Nutrient Inputs
In a mesic grassland co‐limited by nitrogen and phosphorus, responses in plant community diversity and particularly of dominant species do not always correspond to responses in aboveground net primary productivity and functional group biomass production.

Typifications in the tribe Browallieae (Cestroideae: Solanaceae)
Abstract The tribe Browallieae is a monophyletic group comprising Browallia and Streptosolen. These genera are of significant interest in the horticulture industry due to their ornamental potential. Despite their clear placement in Solanaceae, the tribe presents several taxonomic, phylogenetic, and nomenclatural challenges.

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Drivers of Hirola Antelope Diet Selection in Natural and Managed Habitat in Eastern Kenya
Hirola (Beatragus hunteri) populations in eastern Kenya consumed 17 forage species, favoring the grass Chloris virgata and the forbs Commelina benghalensis and C. diffusa. Nutrient analyses showed that natural habitats offered higher phosphorus, magnesium, and digestibility, whereas managed sites provided more sodium, potassium, and crude protein, with

The classification of Acanthaceae is discussed relative to recent molecular studies, pollen morphology, corolla aestivation and other potentially informative morphological homologues. The major pollen types of Acanthaceae are illustrated in the form of scanning electron micrographs. A three-item analysis of 11 morphological homologues is provided.

The complete chloroplast genome of Rungia pectinata (Acanthaceae)
Rungia pectinata is an important traditional Chinese herbal medicine from the family Acanthaceae. The complete chloroplast genome (cp genome) of the genus Rungia was sequenced for the first time. The cp genome of R. pectinata was 149,627 bp in length. It
