Morphology and angiosperm systematics in the molecular era [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
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 ...

Shedding light on overlooked pollinators: Global insights into floral interactions of velvet ants (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae and Myrmosidae)

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 453-465, May 2025.
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

Cloud Forest Tree Growth Responses to Climate and Drought Vary by Island and Species in the Macaronesian Region

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 4, April 2025.
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 ...

Altitudinal Gradient’s Effect on Woody Species’ Diversity, Structure, and Regeneration Status of Ethiopian Highland Forest, Hafursa

open access: yesInternational Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
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 ...

Chloroplast genome‐based genetic resources via genome skimming for the subalpine forests of Japan and adjacent regions

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
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 ...
