Anthropogenic threats to evolutionary heritage of angiosperms in the Netherlands through an increase in high-competition environments. [PDF]

Conserv Biol, 2020
Abstract Present biodiversity comprises the evolutionary heritage of Earth's epochs. Lineages from particular epochs are often found in particular habitats, but whether current habitat decline threatens the heritage from particular epochs is unknown. We hypothesized that within a given region, humans threaten specifically habitats that harbor lineages ...

Cones and consequences: the false dichotomy of conifers vs broad-leaves has critical implications for research and modelling. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary In plant science research and modelling, particularly from the northern hemisphere, the terms ‘needle‐leaved’ and ‘conifer’ along with ‘broad‐leaved’ and ‘angiosperm’ are often used synonymously, creating the false dichotomy that conifers are needle‐leaved and angiosperms are broad‐leaved.

Do socioeconomic factors and local human preference determine the hybridization of knowledge in local medical systems? [PDF]

Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine
Background Hybridization between the local medical systems (LMSs) and biomedicine has been the focus of different studies in ethnobiology, primarily due to the increasing access to biomedicine by indigenous peoples and local communities.

Taxonomic and phylogenetic biases in translocated angiosperm plant species across European countries. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Conservation translocations are a well‐known conservation tool used to reverse the effects of local population extinctions and restore ecosystems. Compared with mammals and birds, plants are underrepresented in translocation programs, and little is known about the potential taxonomic and phylogenetic biases of plant translocation efforts.

Convergent losses of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in carnivorous plants. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Most land plants form the ancient arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, while carnivory is a younger trait that evolved in several angiosperm orders. The two biotic interactions similarly help plants acquire mineral nutrients, raising the question of whether they can coexist.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi and the nitrogen economy of Nothofagus in southern Patagonia. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Ectomycorrhizal fungi play essential roles in nitrogen cycling and plant nutrient uptake at high latitudes. However, they have disproportionately been studied in boreal forests dominated by evergreen conifers. We characterized ectomycorrhizal associations and the nitrogen economy of co‐occurring deciduous and evergreen angiosperms from the genus ...

Chromosome-scale reference genome of <i>Pectocarya recurvata</i>, the species with the smallest reported genome size in Boraginaceae. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci
Abstract Premise Pectocarya recurvata (Boraginaceae, subfamily Cynoglossoideae), a species native to the Sonoran Desert (North America), has served as a model system for a suite of ecological and evolutionary studies. However, no reference genomes are currently available in Cynoglossoideae. A high‐quality reference genome for P.

Inventario florístico en áreas de bosque andino de la Cordillera Central de Colombia (El Peñol, Antioquia)

Caldasia, 2021
Los ecosistemas andinos constituyen uno de los más importantes centros de biodiversidad del mundo, sin embargo, sus coberturas boscosas tienden a desaparecer rápidamente debido a que están sometidas a una fuerte presión antrópica.
