A test for Allee effects in the self-incompatible wasp-pollinated milkweed Gomphocarpus physocarpus [PDF]
It has been suggested that plants which are good colonizers will generally have either an ability to self-fertilize or a generalist pollination system. This prediction is based on the idea that these reproductive traits should confer resistance to Allee ...

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
