Biosilicification in monocots: Comparative analysis highlights contrasting patterns of deposition. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise New insights into biomineral uptake and sequestration are important for understanding how plants grow. Some plants accumulate silica accretions in precise locations in particular cells. Among monocots, controlled biosilicification occurs in several different forms and is restricted to commelinids and orchids. Methods We utilized energy‐

Threatened endemic arthropods and vertebrates partition their diets with non-native ants in an isolated island ecosystem. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract The success of non‐native species depends on their ability to find food, which may ultimately lead to competition with native species and contribute to biodiversity loss in invaded ecosystems. Understanding which food resources are consumed is therefore crucial for evaluating how non‐native species mechanistically fit into native biological ...

The Role of Plant Evolutionary History in Shaping the Variation in Specific Leaf Area Across China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this study, we analyzed the influences of climatic conditions and soil properties on the specific leaf area (SLA), calculated the phylogenetic signals of SLA, and quantified the relative contributions of evolutionary history to the spatial variation in SLA. We underscored the importance of evolutionary history in shaping the spatial variation of SLA

Two new species of wasps parasitizing the rare gelechid defoliator Coconympha iriarcha Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) on Cocos nucifera Linnaeus from India

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2021
The coconut palm, Cocos nucifera L. (Arecales: Arecaceae), is infested by a series of lepidopteran, coleopteran, hemipteran, and acarine pests in India.

Is there silicon in flowers and what does it tell us? [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
Whether flowers accumulate Si and what the implications may be was largely unknown. We analysed the flowers separated into their different anatomical parts, and leaves of different taxa. We conclude that flowers contain Si, in large amounts for some species, and hence the function of this element warrants more attention.

Diel Patterns of Activity for Insect Pollinators of Two Oil Palm Species (Arecales : Arecaceae) [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2017
The pollination of two oil palm species, Elaeis guineensis Jacquin and Elaeis oleifera Cortés (Arecales: Arecaceae), depends on a mutualistic relation with insects, which use male inflorescences as a brood site, and visits female inflorescences lured by the emitted odor, which is similar to that of males.

First record of Opsiphanes cassina fabricii (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) feeding on Christmas palm Adonidia merrillii (Arecales: Arecaceae)

Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina, 2022
The “Split-banded Owlet-Butterfly” Opsiphanes cassina Felder & Felder (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) comprises 12 subspecies occurring throughout Central America and in northern and western South America. In this work, O. cassina fabricii (Boisduval) was identified feeding on “Christmas palm” Adonidia merrillii (Becc.) Becc.

Deductive automated pollen classification in environmental samples via exploratory deep learning and imaging flow cytometry

New Phytologist, Volume 240, Issue 3, Page 1305-1326, November 2023., 2023
Summary Pollen and tracheophyte spores are ubiquitous environmental indicators at local and global scales. Palynology is typically performed manually by microscopic analysis; a specialised and time‐consuming task limited in taxonomical precision and sampling frequency, therefore restricting data quality used to inform climate change and pollen ...
