Phenotypic plasticity masks range‐wide genetic differentiation for vegetative but not reproductive traits in a short‐lived plant

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 2378-2393, November 2021., 2021
Combining a multi‐treatment greenhouse experiment with global observational field data of the short‐lived herb Plantago lanceolata, we (1) disentangled genetic and plastic responses of functional traits to environmental drivers and (2) assessed how genetic differentiation and plasticity shape observational trait–environment relationships.

Benchmarking plant diversity of Palaearctic grasslands and other open habitats

open access: yesJournal of Vegetation Science, Volume 32, Issue 4, July/August 2021., 2021
We show that diversity patterns in different types of open habitats and biomes differ across grain sizes and taxonomic groups. Benchmark richness values for any combination of plant group (vascular plant, bryophyte, lichen, complete vegetation), grain size (for eight standard sizes), vegetation type, region and biome are available in the open‐access ...

Verbascum nigrum: Cytotoxicity Evaluation in A431 Epidermoid Carcinoma Cells and Untargeted LC‐HR‐MS/MS Metabolite Profiling

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 17, Issue 12, December 2020., 2020
Abstract The crude methanolic extract obtained from Verbascum nigrum aerial parts (VNE) and its six fractions (VNF1–VNF6) were initially screened regarding their effects on the viability of immortalized HaCaT keratinocytes and A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells (MTT assay, 24 h).

EUNIS Habitat Classification: Expert system, characteristic species combinations and distribution maps of European habitats

open access: yesApplied Vegetation Science, Volume 23, Issue 4, Page 648-675, October 2020., 2020
EUNIS Habitat Classification is a standard classification of European habitats. We developed the classification expert system EUNIS‐ESy, which assigns vegetation plots to EUNIS habitats based on their species composition and geographic location. We classified 1,261,373 vegetation plots from the European Vegetation Archive and determined characteristic ...

Molecular phylogeny, genome sizes and chromosome numbers in melic grasses and its relatives (Pooideae, Poaceae) with a revised classification of the genus Melica

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 74, Issue 6, Page 1421-1437, December 2025.
Abstract The genus Melica comprises around 90 species, which are widespread throughout the temperate and subtropical regions of the world. In contrast to numerous species complexes in the grass subfamily Pooideae, the genus Melica forms a very homogeneous group of mainly diploid species with a uniform basic chromosome number of x = 9.
