Genomic Offset Analyses: Mind Your Climate Variables
Recent methods based on genomic offset (GO) statistics aim to quantify the risk of non‐adaptation of populations to future climates. This study assesses how well genomic offset values correspond to population variation in fitness, depending on the methods and climate data used.

A series of studies on pollination biology of the Epipactis atrorubens (Hoffm.) Besser, E. purpurata Sm., and E. palustris (L.) Crantz populations was conducted in Poland, Lithuania and Czech Republic between 2003 and 2010.

The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers
Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.

Alien versus native weeds present in crops of Oranie (North West Algeria): A comparative study of their life-history traits [PDF]
Algeria is the North African country with the largest number of alien weed species. The analy- sis of Oranie's weed flora showed 29 species of alien species which represents 1.62% from the 1,780 species of the whole spontaneous flora of the oranian ...

Self-incompatibility (SI) significantly reduces crop yield, often far below its genetic potential. Developing self-compatible varieties is the most effective strategy for overcoming SI in crops.

The origins of Flann O'Brien's "At Swim-Two-Birds" [PDF]
Flann O’Brien’s first novel, At Swim-Two-Birds, published in 1939, has generally been considered as O’Brien’s masterpiece due to its spontaneous narration and experimental technique.

Pollinators maintain biodiversity in assembling plant communities
Abstract Most angiosperms are animal‐pollinated, and animal pollination increases fitness in many plant species. Although it is less well‐studied than other factors, plant biodiversity may be maintained by pollinators and the associated seedling recruitment that occurs after fertilization. We experimentally applied three levels of pollinator visitation

Bees may drive the reproduction of four sympatric cacti in a vanishing coastal mediterranean-type ecosystem [PDF]
Background Sympatric congeneric plants might share pollinators, or each species might avoid competition by evolving specialized traits that generate partitions in pollinator assemblages.

Pollinator-syndrome driven changes in the mating systems of two Cape legume species [PDF]
The challenge in answering the question of whether or not plants evolve different mating systems to accommodate their respective pollinators lies in finding a pair of closely related species differing only in pollination syndromes.
