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

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 ...

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

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

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.

Rhizosheath: An adaptive root trait to improve plant tolerance to phosphorus and water deficits?
Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 45, Issue 10, Page 2861-2874, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Drought and nutrient limitations adversely affect crop yields, with below‐ground traits enhancing crop production in these resource‐poor environments. This review explores the interacting biological, chemical and physical factors that determine rhizosheath (soil adhering to the root system) development, and its influence on plant water uptake ...

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1189-1200, July 2022., 2022 Abstract DNA contained in animal scat provides a wealth of information about the animal, and DNA metabarcoding of scat collections can provide key information about animal populations and communities. Next‐generation DNA sequencing technologies and DNA metabarcoding provide an efficient means for obtaining information available in scat samples. We used

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 In this article, we assessed the differences in diet estimates and potential ecological and economic impact measurements according to the section of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach, small and large intestine) analysed. We aimed to test which section(s) provided a better diet representation and putative impact of a common inland invader.
