Turnover importance: Operationalizing beta diversity to quantify the generalism continuum
Abstract Generalization is difficult to quantify, and many classifications exist. A beta diversity framework can be used to establish a numeric measure of generalist tendencies that jointly describes many important features of species interactions, namely spatiotemporal heterogeneity.

Comparative anatomy of elaiophores and oil secretion in the genus Gomesa (Orchidaceae) [PDF]
Oils are atypical floral rewards in Orchidaceae, and are produced by epidermal glands called elaiophores. Flowers of many members of the sub-tribe Oncidiinae either produce oil or mimic oil-producing flowers of Malpighiaceae.

The origin and speciation of orchids
Summary Orchids constitute one of the most spectacular radiations of flowering plants. However, their origin, spread across the globe, and hotspots of speciation remain uncertain due to the lack of an up‐to‐date phylogeographic analysis. We present a new Orchidaceae phylogeny based on combined high‐throughput and Sanger sequencing data, covering all ...
