The origin and speciation of orchids

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 242, Issue 2, Page 700-716, April 2024.
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 ...

Nuclear phylogenomics of angiosperms and insights into their relationships and evolution

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 546-578, March 2024.
This review synthesizes numerous nuclear phylogenomic analyses of angiosperms (analyses that resolved the relationships of major clades, most orders, and many families and subgroups) and discusses the improved understanding of angiosperm biogeography, diversification dynamics, and character evolution.

Drought resistance does not explain epiphytic abundance of accidental epiphytes

open access: yesPlant Ecology & Diversity, 2020
Accidental epiphytism is common among vascular plants in forest ecosystems around the globe. A frequent observation in surveys of accidental epiphytes is the occurrence of few species with high epiphytic abundance, while most co-occurring terrestrial species are rarely found as epiphytes. Based on the general assumption that water is the major limiting

Diversity, taxonomy, and history of the tropical fern genus Didymoglossum Desv. (Hymenophyllaceae, Polypodiidae) in Africa

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 62, Issue 1, Page 84-101, January 2024.
Analyses combining morphology and molecules confirmed the presence in tropical Africa of at least seven species of Didymoglossum ferns (Hymenophyllaceae) and traced the history of the genus in Africa, which would imply numerous multiple dispersals from the Neotropics or the western Indian Ocean and at least one local diversification in the Cenozoic.

Effect of forest successional stage on the host-epiphyte orchid relationship in the Pindo Mirador biological station, Ecuador

open access: yesRevista Cubana de Ciencias Forestales, 2021
Epiphyte diversity in forest ecosystems is closely related to forest structure; however, in the Pindo Mirador Biological Station in Ecuador, there are no studies documenting this interaction.

Towards resolving Lamiales relationships: insights from rapidly evolving chloroplast sequences

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010
Background In the large angiosperm order Lamiales, a diverse array of highly specialized life strategies such as carnivory, parasitism, epiphytism, and desiccation tolerance occur, and some lineages possess drastically accelerated DNA substitutional ...

Investigating on the occurrence of Paracentrotus lividus in rocky and Posidonia oceanica habitat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck) is the most common grazer in the Mediterranean infralittoral that at high densities overgrazes complex algal assemblages turning them into barren areas.
