Hairy, hairy quite contrary: Pollination and functional floral traits in a hirsute carrion‐scented stapeliad

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Floral mimicry of decaying substrates of animal origin, such as carrion or faeces, is associated with unusual traits such as geoflory, deep maroon or yellow colouration, floral hairs and unpleasant odour, but the functional significance of these traits for attracting and manipulating pollinators has seldom been examined.

Chloroplast Genomes of Croton alabamensis and Croton bonplandianus (Euphorbiaceae): Comparative Analysis With Related Croton Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Croton chloroplast genomes exhibit substantial structural diversity driven mainly by asymmetric inverted repeats (IRs) contraction and expansion, despite highly conserved gene content. IR boundary shifts predominantly involved the LSC region, indicating an LSC‐driven evolutionary pattern. The preliminary phylogenomic analyses confirmed the monophyly of

Phylogeny of subtribe Gonolobinae (Apocynaceae‐Asclepiadoideae) based on molecular and morphological data with a revised generic classification

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract The presently most densely sampled molecular phylogeny of the widespread New World subtribe Gonolobinae is presented, including about 35% of the ca. 520 species. Sampling focused on an even representation of the three main areas of total Gonolobinae distribution, South America, Central/North America, and the West Indian Islands, and the ...
