Insect pollination for most of angiosperm evolutionary history

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 240, Issue 2, Page 880-891, October 2023., 2023
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.

Hidden cargo: The impact of historical shipping trade on the recent‐past and contemporary non‐native flora of northeastern United States

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
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]

open access: yesBiodiversity Data Journal, 2016
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

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 65, Issue 6, Page 1479-1489, June 2023., 2023
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]

open access: yesBotanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2002
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 ...

Contrasting seasonal patterns in diet and dung‐associated invertebrates of feral cattle and horses in a rewilding area

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 2071-2091, April 2023., 2023
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 ...

A genome‐wide phylogeny and the diversification of genus Liriomyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae) inferred from anchored phylogenomics

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 178-197, January 2023., 2023
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.

Palynological diversity of highly medicinal rare, endangered, and threatened plants from Western Himalaya, India

open access: yesNotulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca, 2022
The present study investigated the palynological diversity of highly medicinal Rare, Endangered, and Threatened (RET) plant species dwelling in higher altitudes of Western Himalaya, India. The pollen morphology of 32 plant species covering 29 genera, 23

Plant–frugivore interactions across the Caribbean islands: Modularity, invader complexes and the importance of generalist species

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 11, Page 2361-2374, November 2022., 2022
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.
