Coevolution as an engine of biodiversity and a cornucopia of ecosystem services

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 61-73, January 2021., 2021
Coevolutionary processes, which have governed interactions between organisms throughout the history of life, also serve as an engine of ecosystem services for humans. The escalating arms races between plants and herbivores, flowers and pollinators, have generated a cornucopia of foods, raw materials, perfumes, spices, ornamentals, medicines, and drugs.

Genome Sizes in Hepatica Mill: (Ranunculaceae) Show a Loss of DNA, Not a Gain, in Polyploids

Journal of Botany, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
Genome size (C‐value) was applied anew to investigate the relationships within the genus Hepatica (Ranunculaceae). More than 50 samples representing all species (except H. falconeri), from wild and cultivated material, were investigated. Species of Hepatica turn out to be diploid (2n = 14), tetraploid (2n = 28 ), and a possible pentaploid.
