Functional dioecy in Gleditsia amorphoides (Fabaceae)
Australian Journal of Botany, 2018 The genus Gleditsia (Fabaceae) comprises woody shrubs and trees that grow in temperate and subtropical regions around the world. This genus is characterised by sexual polymorphism and functionally unisexual flowers. Gleditsia amorphoides is the southernmost species of the genus, and is widely used as a source of timber and derived products for ...

Psychotria caraballoensis (Rubiaceae), a new species from northern Luzon, Philippines
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 2, February 2026.In this paper, we describe and illustrate Psychotria caraballoensis, a new endemic species from the Caraballo Mountain Range, Luzon, Philippines. It is allied to the Subalpina species group sensu Sohmer and Davis (2007), and resembles Psychotria sohotonensis.

Sex Allocation: Evolution to and from Dioecy [PDF]
Current Biology, 2009 Sex allocation in hermaphrodites should evolve in response to changes in the frequency of unisexuals. As predicted, it has now been demonstrated that hermaphrodites respond to the removal of males from experimental plant populations by increasing their allocation to male function.

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract As presently circumscribed, the Paleotropical genus Tarenna, belonging to the tribe Pavetteae (Rubiaceae), comprises about 200 species and has its centres of diversity in tropical Asia and Africa. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies of the tribe revealed the polyphyly of Tarenna, suggesting that the genus needs to be recircumscribed ...

Gynodioecy to dioecy: are we there yet? [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2011 The 'gynodioecy-dioecy pathway' is considered to be one of the most important evolutionary routes from hermaphroditism to separate sexes (dioecy). Despite a large accumulation of evidence for female seed fertility advantages in gynodioecious species (females and hermaphrodites coexist) in support of the first step in the gynodioecy-dioecy pathway, we ...

Differentiation during fig ontogeny suggests opposing selection by mutualists
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Dioecy allows separation of female and male functions and therefore facilitates separate co‐evolutionary pathways with pollinators and seed dispersers. In monoecious figs, pollinators' offspring develop inside the syconium by consuming some of the seeds.

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...
