TAXON, Volume 71, Issue 6, Page 1230-1250, December 2022., 2022 Abstract The Apocynaceae subfamilies Secamonoideae and Asclepiadoideae have undergone several transitions during their evolution with regard to growth form and degree of woodiness. In this study, we present a wood anatomical overview of both subfamilies that complements previous work on the remaining Apocynaceae.

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2022, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Caralluma dolichocarpa is shown to be an older name for C. lavrani, a succulent species restricted to southern Yemen and southwestern Oman, and the new combination Ceropegia dolichocarpa is made. The new combination Ceropegia globosa is proposed for Echidnopsis globosa, another succulent, endemic to southern Yemen.

The Apocynaceae TEN (Taxonomic Expert Network) [PDF]
TAXON, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1130-1139, October 2024.Abstract Using the Apocynaceae as an example, the present paper demonstrates how the new tool Rhakhis highlights taxonomic problems in a large vascular plant family and, at the same time, invites specialists in the family to solve these problems with the aim of producing an up‐to‐date taxonomy.

Insect-flower interactions, ecosystem functions, and restoration ecology in the northern Sahel: current knowledge and perspectives. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Actions for ecological restoration under the Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative in the northern Sahel have been plant focused, paying scant attention to plant–animal interactions that are essential to ecosystem functioning. Calls to accelerate implementation of the GGW make it timely to develop a more solid conceptual foundation for restoration
