Genome duplication and the origin of angiosperms
Despite intensive research, little is known about the origin of the angiosperms and their rise to ecological dominance during the Early Cretaceous. Based on whole-genome analyses of Arabidopsis thaliana, there is compelling evidence that angiosperms ...

Diversification of myco-heterotrophic angiosperms: evidence from Burmanniaceae. [PDF]
Background - Myco-heterotrophy evolved independently several times during angiosperm evolution. Although many species of myco-heterotrophic plants are highly endemic and long-distance dispersal seems unlikely, some genera are widely dispersed and have ...

Connecting the distribution and diversification of marine plants
Integration of the evolutionary history with distribution of extant species is necessary to explain present‐day diversity, particularly for ‘foundation' species, such as seagrasses, which create habitats of socioecological relevance. Here, we resolved if varying evolutionary history of seagrass families has imprinted the distribution ranges of extant ...

Macroevolutionary dynamics in the transition of angiosperms to aquatic environments
Angiosperm lineages in aquatic environments are characterized by high structural and functional diversity, and wide distributions. A long‐standing evolutionary riddle is what processes have caused the relatively low diversity of aquatic angiosperms ...

Fruit‐quality tradeoffs generate asymmetry in plant reliance on mutualistic frugivores
Seed dispersal is a fundamental ecological process influencing the evolution of plant life‐history strategies. In fleshy‐fruited plants dispersed by mutualistic frugivores, variation in fruit traits among closely related species may shape the temporal and spatial dynamics of dispersal events critical to population success.

Age ratio in groups of a social ungulate affects epizoochorous dispersal and diaspore exchanges
Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is a key process in plant population dynamics, species distribution and ecosystem functioning. As long‐distance dispersal agents, ungulates help to maintain native plant populations facing abiotic changes in their habitat and habitat fragmentation or habitat loss.
