The family classification of the New Caledonian angiosperms has become more stable with the application of the APG system. [PDF]

Cladistics
Abstract The era of molecular systematics has had a tremendous impact on taxonomy, with the increasing availability of phylogenetic trees allowing the recircumscription of higher taxa, particularly through the application of the monophyletic principle.

Tetraopes Milkweed Beetle Genomes Elucidate the Adaptive Basis of a Temperate Coevolutionary Radiation. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

Sclerified Cork Outperforms the Exodermis: Root Water Permeability Decreases in the Soil-To-Canopy Transition of the Aroid Vine Epipremnum aureum. [PDF]

Physiol Plant
ABSTRACT The aroid vine Epipremnum aureum undergoes changes in habitat and growth axis direction from terrestrial (plagiotropic) to canopy (orthotropic) conditions. Since aerial roots connected to the forest soil are vital for water and nutrient uptake in these vines, we hypothesize that morphophysiological acclimation occurs, enabling root survival ...

Sandhill Milikweed, Asclepias humistrata

EDIS, 2018
Sandhill milkweed is scattered on backdunes, in sandhills, and often in disturbed areas, such as mowed roadsides. It has a range in Florida south to Lake Okeechobee and also occurs in coastal southeast states west to Louisiana and northeast to North ...

Cytotaxonomic studies in African Asclepiadaceae

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 1983
The family Asclepiadaceae of about 290 genera is a homogeneous complex with complicated flower-structure. Little cytological data are available on the approximately 3 000 species in the family.

Towards an updated checklist of the Libyan flora [PDF]

, 2018
The Libyan flora was last documented in a series of volumes published between 1976 and 1989. Since then there has been a substantial realignment of family and generic boundaries and the discovery of many new species.

The diversity and evolution of pollination systems in large plant clades: Apocynaceae as a case study [PDF]

, 2018
Background and Aims Large clades of angiosperms are often characterized by diverse interactions with pollinators, but how these pollination systems are structured phylogenetically and biogeographically is still uncertain for most families. Apocynaceae is

Diversity of Diptera families that pollinate Ceropegia (Apocynaceae) trap flowers: An update in light of new data and phylogenetic analyses [PDF]

, 2017
Pollination by flies (Diptera) has been important to the diversification and ecology of the flowering plants, but is poorly understood in contrast to pollination by other groups such as bees, butterflies and birds.

Taxonomy "under construction": advances in the systematics of Apocynaceae, with emphasis on the Brazilian Asclepiadoideae

Rodriguésia
The Apocynaceae comprise approximately 5,000 species and are widely distributed. The family belongs to the Gentianales and can be easily recognized by the presence of latex and a style-head derived from the fusion of two carpels at the apex of the styles.
