Morphology and angiosperm systematics in the molecular era [PDF]
Several ways in which morphology is used in systematic and evolutionary research in angiosperms are shown and illustrated with examples: 1) searches for special structural similarities, which can be used to find hints for hitherto unrecognized ...

Abstract Plant–animal interactions constitute a recurrent and central focus in ecological research, with pollination representing one of its most extensively studied aspects. While certain insect orders have traditionally received considerable attention due to their abundance as flower visitors and their efficiency in pollination, it is undeniable that

ABSTRACT Aim Macaronesian cloud forests are insular ecosystems subjected to local environmental variability, but the responses of their tree species to climate variations have never been studied. Our aim was to assess how the variation in environmental conditions associated with the geographical location of several islands in three Macaronesian ...

This study investigated the effects of altitudinal variation on woody species’ diversity, structure, and regeneration status of dry evergreen Afromontane Hafursa forest in Ethiopia. The finding was based on 32 plots of 400 m2 size established systematically, and data on seedlings and saplings were collected from five subplots of 1 m2 size located at ...

Diversity and distribution of arthropods in native forests of the Azores archipelago [PDF]
Since 1999, our knowledge of arthropods in native forests of the Azores has improved greatly. Under the BALA project (Biodiversity of Arthropods of Laurisilva of the Azores), an extensive standardised sampling protocol was employed in most of the native

Phylogeography of a Tertiary relict plant, Meconopsis cambrica (Papaveraceae), implies the existence of northern refugia for a temperate herb [PDF]
The perennial herb Meconopsis cambrica, a western European endemic, is the only European species of the otherwise Himalayan genus Meconopsis and has been interpreted as a Tertiary relict species.

In this study, we assemble 92 whole chloroplast genomes from 12 subalpine plant species (5 conifers and 7 angiosperms) and identify intraspecific variation and lineages that will be useful for evolutionary, phylogeographic and conservation‐focused studies of the threatened subalpine forest biome of Japan and adjacent regions in northeast Asia ...
