RNA editing in the chloroplast of Asian Palmyra palm (Borassus flabellifer) [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2020 We have identified 46 RNA editing sites located in 20 chloroplast (cp) genes of Borassus flabellifer (Asian Palmyra palm), family Arecaceae, and tested these genes for supporting phylogenetic study among the commelinids. Among the 46 sites, 43 sites were

The Role of Plant Evolutionary History in Shaping the Variation in Specific Leaf Area Across China. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we analyzed the influences of climatic conditions and soil properties on the specific leaf area (SLA), calculated the phylogenetic signals of SLA, and quantified the relative contributions of evolutionary history to the spatial variation in SLA. We underscored the importance of evolutionary history in shaping the spatial variation of SLA

Morphological and anatomical patterns in Pontederiaceae (Commelinales) and their evolutionary implications [PDF]
Aquatic Botany, 2016 Abstract Pontederiaceae include six genera and approximately 35 species of aquatic plants. The family exhibits great variation in morphology that makes the characterization of species and the understanding of infrafamilial relationships difficult.

Effects of Predator Species and Size on Prey Escape Success Through the Digestive Tract. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAdults of the aquatic beetle Regimbartia attenuata can survive passage through the digestive tracts of six predator (frog) species, including a non‐native bullfrog. Their active movement through the gut likely facilitates their escape through the cloaca, irrespective of predator species or size.

Dimorphic enantiostyly and its function for pollination by carpenter bees in a pollen-rewarding Caribbean bloodwort. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Flowers that present their anthers and stigma in close proximity can achieve precise animal‐mediated pollen transfer, but risk self‐pollination. One evolutionary solution is reciprocal herkogamy. Reciprocity of anther and style positions among different plants (i.e., a genetic dimorphism) is common in distylous plants, but very rare in

Local Forest Structure and Host Specificity Influence Liana Community Composition in a Moist Central African Forest. [PDF]
Ecol EvolOur study unravels liana community dynamics in Congo, addressing the scarcity of central African liana literature. Using unique datasets, we offer original insights into liana functional ecology, host specificity, and competition with herbs. ABSTRACT Lianas are important components of tropical forest diversity and dynamics, yet little is known about ...
