Insect pollination for most of angiosperm evolutionary history
Summary Most contemporary angiosperms (flowering plants) are insect pollinated, but pollination by wind, water or vertebrates occurs in many lineages. Though evidence suggests insect pollination may be ancestral in angiosperms, this is yet to be assessed across the full phylogeny.

Over 250 non‐native plants arrived on the Atlantic Coast of the United States with pre‐1900s ship ballast, and the authors show which of these species died out (as waifs or short‐lived rarities) and which still persist as local or widespread plants. Abstract Premise Understanding establishment and spread of non‐native plants is important in the face of

Taxonomic revision of Rochefortia Sw. (Ehretiaceae, Boraginales) [PDF]
Rochefortia is a small taxon of woody plants in the Ehretiaceae (Boraginales) exhibiting coriaceous leaves with cystoliths, small whitish flowers and drupaceous fruits containing four pyrenes. It shares the dioecious sex distribution with its sister group Lepidocordia and can be delimited from the latter (and all other Ehretiaceae) by the presence of ...

Genome‐scale angiosperm phylogenies based on nuclear, plastome, and mitochondrial datasets
Genome‐scale angiosperm phylogenies were reconstructed used currently available de novo genome data of 366 angiosperm species from 241 genera belonging to 97 families across 43 of the 64 orders based on orthologous genes from the nuclear, plastid, and mitochondrial genomes of the same species with compatible datasets.

Transfer cells in the seeds of Boraginales [PDF]
The presence of transfer cells (TCs) in the seeds of Boraginales (Boraginaceae s.s., Hydrophyllaceae, Heliotropiaceae, Ehretiaceae, Cordiaceae and Lennoaceae) has been reported but has not hitherto been studied systematically. This study, surveying the seed anatomy of 50 species of Boraginales, demonstrates that in Heliotropiaceae, Cordiaceae ...

Abstract Trophic rewilding is increasingly applied in restoration efforts, with the aim of reintroducing the ecological functions provided by large‐bodied mammals and thereby promote self‐regulating, biodiverse ecosystems. However, empirical evidence for the effects of megafauna introductions on the abundance and richness of other organisms such as ...

Phylogenetic relationships are reconstructed among the Liriomyza leafminers using phylogenomic analysis of nuclear gene loci obtained by anchored hybrid enrichment (AHE). Trees inferred using multiple data types and analysis methods are congruent and individual clade support confirms morphological species groups and relationships among them.

Abstract Aim Mutualistic interactions between plants and animals are fundamental for the maintenance of natural communities and the ecosystem services they provide. However, particularly in human‐dominated island ecosystems, introduced species may alter mutualistic interactions.
