PhytoKeys, 2012 It is shown that the concept of the Iranian endemic Lactuca polyclada in the sense of both its original author Boissier and its current use actually admixes two entirely different species, as was first noted by Beauverd a hundred years ago but has been ...

Ant-mediated seed dispersal in a warmed world [PDF]
, 2014 Climate change affects communities both directly and indirectly via changes in interspecific interactions. One such interaction that may be altered under climate change is the ant-plant seed dispersal mutualism common in deciduous forests of eastern ...

Seed fossil record of Solanaceae revisited
TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract The fossil record for Solanaceae has a complex taxonomic history, with many species originally described in the family being subsequently shown to belong in other plant families. In this work, we present an in‐depth analysis of the nightshade seed fossil record, which corresponds to the largest amount of fossil material for the family.

Differences in Temperature Responses of Achene Types in Centaurea melitensis [PDF]
, 2013 Southern California has a Mediterranean climate with wet winters and hot dry summers. This type of environment is associated with irregular temperature patterns and rainfall, which can be unpredictable.

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.Model systems have been developed for certain mutualistic interactions, such as pollination, root nodules, and mycorrhizal symbiosis, advancing our understanding of these forms of mutualism. However, in the area of seed dispersal mutualism, a model system has been lacking. Here, we provide evidence of ant‐seed dispersal mutualism in Setaria viridis and

Classification and Biogeography of New World Grasses: Anomochlooideae, Pharoideae, Ehrhartoideae, and Bambusoideae [PDF]
, 2007 Molecular data support Anomochlooideae and Pharoideae as the two most basal extant clades within Poaceae. Anomochlooideae are endemic to the New World and have two tribes and two genera including the widespread Streptochaeteae (3–4 spp.) and the ...

Theligonum cynocrambe: Developmental morphology of a peculiar rubiaceous herb [PDF]
, 2018 The annual Mediterranean herbTheligonum cynocrambe shows a peculiar combination of morphological characters, e.g., switch from decussate to spiral phyllotaxis with 90-100° divergence, combined with a change from interpetiolar to lateral stipules ...

Seed dispersal distances: a typology based on dispersal modes and plant traits [PDF]
, 2007 The ability of plants to disperse seeds may be critical for their survival under the current constraints of landscape fragmentation and climate change.

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.We assess the impact of human‐induced ‘downsizing’ of animal communities on plant–frugivore trait matching—the alignment between fruit size and frugivore body mass—using a global dataset on plant and animal traits and 102 ecological networks across the tropics.

The distribution of ant nest (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in coastal grey dunes of Flanders (Belgium) and their relationship to myrmecochorous plants [PDF]
, 2004 During the summer of 2001, we conducted a study on the spatial distribution of ants in coastal grey dunes (Oostduinkerke, Western Flanders, Belgium). Nest locations of the most abundant ant species were analysed with multivariate techniques.
