A review of the woody bamboos (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Bambuseae) of Trinidad and Tobago

open access: yesAdvances in Bamboo Science
Trinidad and Tobago are important islands to Neotropical woody bamboo taxonomy. Trinidad is a type locality for two widely applied names with poorly defined species concepts: Arthrostylidium pubescens and A. excelsum, and two potentially endemic species:

CHROMOSOMES OF TWO OLYRA L. SPECIES FROM MISIONES, ARGENTINA (POACEAE, BAMBUSOIDEAE, OLYREAE) [PDF]

open access: yesBAG. Journal of Basic and Applied Genetics, 2022
The subfamily Bambusoideae comprises three monophyletic tribes, Arundinarieae, Bambuseae and Olyreae. Here we report the gametic number and the chromosomal meiotic behavior of two species belonging to the herbaceous tribe Olyreae, Olyra latifolia and ...

Combining target enrichment and Sanger sequencing data to clarify the systematics of the diverse Neotropical butterfly subtribe Euptychiina (Nymphalidae, Satyrinae)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 498-570, October 2023., 2023
We present a molecular phylogeny of the Neotropical butterfly subtribe Euptychiina, including 449 described and undescribed species By using a combination of target enrichment and Sanger sequencing data we avoid long‐branch attraction effects and clarify the systematics of the clade.

Reed bamboos drive skull shape evolution in bush frogs of the Western Ghats, Peninsular India

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
Our study highlights the key role of ecological opportunity as a driver of morphological evolution. We find that endemic bush frogs from a monophyletic group (Ochlandrae) which lives in the bamboo internodes. They have skull shapes different to non‐bamboo frogs.

Bamboo climatic tolerances are decoupled from leaf functional traits across an Andean elevation gradient

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2022, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Widespread changes in temperature and precipitation patterns present plant species with new and combined stresses that affect their performance and distribution. Functional traits are indicators of plant resource use–acquisition strategies and thus they are commonly used to understand the geographic distributions of plant species and species' potential

Genetic control of compatibility in crosses between wheat and its wild or cultivated relatives

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 812-832, May 2022., 2022
Summary In the recent years, the agricultural world has been progressing towards integrated crop protection, in the context of sustainable and reasoned agriculture to improve food security and quality, and to preserve the environment through reduced uses of water, pesticides, fungicides or fertilisers.

Punctuational ecological changes rather than global factors drive species diversification and the evolution of wing phenotypes in Morpho butterflies

open access: yesJournal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 34, Issue 10, Page 1592-1607, October 2021., 2021
Combining ecology, biogeography, phenotypes and phylogeny of the Neotropical Morpho butterflies, we show that microhabitat conditions explain correlated changes in host‐plants, rates of wing evolution and species diversification. Abstract Assessing the relative importance of geographical and ecological drivers of evolution is paramount to understand ...

Diversity, distribution, and classification of Neotropical woody bamboos (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) in the 21st Century

open access: yesBotan‪ical Sciences, 2021
Background: The Neotropical woody bamboos (NWB) comprise a clade native to the Western Hemisphere. Taxonomically the NWB are classified into three subtribes: Arthrostylidiinae, Chusqueinae, and Guaduinae.
