Local Forest Structure and Host Specificity Influence Liana Community Composition in a Moist Central African Forest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our 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 ...

A reference genome of Commelinales provides insights into the commelinids evolution and global spread of water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes). [PDF]

Gigascience
Abstract Commelinales belongs to the commelinids clade, which also comprises Poales that includes the most important monocot species, such as rice, wheat, and maize. No reference genome of Commelinales is currently available. Water hyacinth (Pontederia crassipes or Eichhornia crassipes), a member of Commelinales, is one of the ...

Flora of Espírito Santo: Pontederiaceae

Rodriguésia, 2022
Pontederiaceae is a small family of Monocots, composed of two genera (i.e., Heteranthera and Pontederia) and ca. 40 species. Two genera and 27 species are accepted for Brazil. In the state of Espírito Santo, Heteranthera is represented by two species and

The aquatic species Pontederia azurea and P. crassipes (Pontederiaceae) in the Pantanal, Brazil: evidence of how plant structure can simultaneously reflect phylogeny and ecology

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2021
Hydric fluctuations in the Pantanal comprise annual dry and wet seasons that modify local diversity and plant morphology and anatomy. Widespread in this wetland are the sympatric Pontederia azurea and P.

Deep reticulation: the long legacy of hybridization in vascular plant evolution

The Plant Journal, Volume 114, Issue 4, Page 743-766, May 2023., 2023
SUMMARY Hybridization has long been recognized as a fundamental evolutionary process in plants but, until recently, our understanding of its phylogenetic distribution and biological significance across deep evolutionary scales has been largely obscure. Over the past decade, genomic and phylogenomic datasets have revealed, perhaps not surprisingly, that

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

Systematic 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.
