Using large language models to extract plant functional traits from unstructured text. [PDF]

open access: yesAppl Plant Sci
Abstract Premise Functional plant ecology seeks to understand how functional traits govern species distributions, community assembly, and ecosystem functions. While global trait datasets have advanced the field, substantial gaps remain, and extracting trait information from text in books, research articles, and online sources via machine learning ...

Causes of delayed angiosperm diversification: The photosynthetic revolution, increased opportunity costs of anti-herbivore defenses, selection for qualitative toxins, and acceleration of plant-herbivore coevolution. [PDF]

open access: yesAm J Bot
Abstract Why did it take so long for angiosperms to diversify after they arose? Here I consider the indirect but potentially crucial impact of the “photosynthetic revolution” on plant–herbivore coevolution. Increased vein density in fossil leaves implies a doubling in photosynthesis 125–100 million years ago.

Recruitment of intertidal kelps Hedophyllum sessile and Alaria marginata (Laminariales) to articulated and crustose coralline algal species. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Phycol
Abstract Kelps and coralline algae are important primary producers and habitat‐builders in rocky intertidal ecosystems. On wave‐exposed shores along the west coast of North America, Hedophyllum sessile and Alaria marginata are two dominant kelp species with juveniles that often occur at a higher density on articulated corallines than other available ...

Variation in a host-epiphyte relationship along a wave exposure gradient [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
The red alga Polysiphonia lanosa (L ) Tandy is an obligate epiphyte that primarily occurs on the fucoid brown algal basiphyte Ascophyllum nodosum (L) Le Jolis In the present study we examine how epiphytic interactions between P lanosa and A nodosum vary ...

open access: yes, 2009
The occurrence of Laminarionema elsbetiae (Ectocarpaceae, Phaeophyceae), as epi-endophyte of Rhodymenia pseudopalmata (Rhodymeniales, Rhodophyta), described from Santa Isabel, Rawson, Argentina. L.

Vascular epiphytic flora of a high montane environment of Brazilian Atlantic Forest: composition and floristic relationships with other ombrophilous forests

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2016
Only a few studies regarding vascular epiphytes have been conducted in mixed ombrophilous forests (MOF) in Serra da Mantiqueira, a mountainous environment in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, where the relationships of epiphytic flora with other ...

Phylogeny, Adaptive Radiation, and Historical Biogeography of Bromeliaceae Inferred from ndhF Sequence Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Cladistic analysis of ndhF sequences identifies eight major bromeliad clades arranged in ladderlike fashion. The traditional subfamilies Tillandsioideae and Bromelioideae are monophyletic, but Pitcairnioideae are paraphyletic, requiring the description of

Phylogeny-Based Comparative Methods Question the Adaptive Nature of Sporophytic Specializations in Mosses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Adaptive evolution has often been proposed to explain correlations between habitats and certain phenotypes. In mosses, a high frequency of species with specialized sporophytic traits in exposed or epiphytic habitats was, already 100 years ago, suggested ...

The Pressure Is On – Epiphyte Water-Relations Altered Under Elevated CO2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Vascular epiphytes are a major biomass component of forests across the globe and they contribute to 9% of global vascular plant diversity. To improve our understanding of the whole-plant response of epiphytes to future climate change, we investigated for
