Chromosomal studies on Neotropical Limnocharitaceae (Alismatales) [PDF]
Aquatic Botany, 2002 Abstract The family Limnocharitaceae comprises three genera of herbaceous aquatic plants: Limnocharis and Hydrocleys, naturally found in Neotropical regions, and Butomopsis, found in Paleotropical regions. In order to analyze the karyotypic characteristics of the Neotropical genera, root tips of L. flava, L. laforestii and H.

The plastid genome of Najas flexilis: adaptation to submersed environments is accompanied by the complete loss of the NDH complex in an aquatic angiosperm. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The re-colonization of aquatic habitats by angiosperms has presented a difficult challenge to plants whose long evolutionary history primarily reflects adaptations to terrestrial conditions. Many aquatics must complete vital stages of their life cycle on

Complete organelle genomes of the threatened aquatic species Scheuchzeria palustris (Scheuchzeriaceae): Insights into adaptation and phylogenomic placement. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe organelle genomes map of Scheuchzeria palustris. Abstract Scheuchzeria palustris, the only species in the Scheuchzeriaceae family, plays a crucial role in methane production and transportation, influencing the global carbon cycle and maintaining ecosystem stability. However, it is now threatened by human activities and global warming. In this study,

PIA : more accurate taxonomic assignment of metagenomic data demonstrated on sedaDNA from the North sea [PDF]
, 2020 Assigning metagenomic reads to taxa presents significant challenges. Existing approaches address some issues, but are mostly limited to metabarcoding or optimized for microbial data. We present PIA (Phylogenetic Intersection Analysis): a taxonomic binner

Plastid phylogenomics and molecular evolution of Alismatales [PDF]
Cladistics, 2015 AbstractPast phylogenetic studies of the monocot order Alismatales left several higher‐order relationships unresolved. We addressed these uncertainties using a nearly complete genus‐level sampling of whole plastid genomes (gene sets representing 83 protein‐coding and ribosomal genes) from members of the core alismatid families, Tofieldiaceae and ...

Functional trait diversity of Cyclanthaceae and its convergent evolution with Araceae in Neotropical forests [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 The Cyclanthaceae comprise a relatively small family of about 230 species and 12 genera in the Pandanales that is widespread in wet Neotropical forests.

Herbivory Dominates the Spring Diet of American Black Bears (<i>Ursus americanus</i>) in a Wood Bison (<i>Bison bison athabascae</i>) Neonatal Range, Suggesting Minimal Bison Consumption. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we used scat analysis and DNA metabarcoding to analyze the spring diet of black bears in the neonatal range of a small, threatened wood bison herd in northeast Alberta to assess predation risk of neonate bison. Our results suggest that consumption rates of bison are low and that predation risk to neonate wood bison, during the RLBH's ...
