Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1542-1554, December 2025.ABSTRACT Beetle pollination is considered an ancestral trait in angiosperms, retained in a few specialised families engaging in longstanding interactions with ancient groups of beetles. While beetles represent some of the earliest angiosperm pollinators, there is also increasing evidence that some beetle‐pollinated plants represent a derived condition.

Salt‐Induced Stomatal Closure Suppresses Parasitism by Phtheirospermum japonicum
Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT In nature, parasitic plants may grow in marginal and stressful environments. However, the effects of concurrent abiotic stress, such as salinity, on parasitism remain underexplored, particularly in facultative root hemiparasites. Here, we examined the effect of salt on the relationship between the parasite Phtheirospermum japonicum and its ...

Anatomía y morfogénesis de las agallas producidas por Leptocybe invasa en plantas de Eucalyptus [PDF]
, 2015 Leptocybe invasa o “avispa de la agalla del eucalipto”, es un microhimenóptero gallícola que ovipone en hojas jóvenes de eucaliptos. La planta responde formando agallas, que causan enrollamiento, defoliación y colapso de brotes, afectando seriamente la ...

The Plastomes of Two Species in the Endoparasite Genus Pilostyles (Apodanthaceae) Each Retain Just Five or Six Possibly Functional Genes [PDF]
, 2016 The 23 species of mycoheterotrophic or exoparasitic land plants (from 15 genera and 6 families)studied so far all retain a minimal set of 17 of the normally 116 plastome genes.

Range and Elevational Shifts of Mistletoes Under Future Climate Change Scenarios
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.Mistletoes are particularly vulnerable to climate change because of their obligate dependence on host plants. We investigated how climate change will alter the distribution of suitable habitat of Mesoamerican Psittacanthus mistletoes. Species differences were found in distribution with northward and upward shifts accompanied by significant range size ...

The curious case of the camelthorn: competition, coexistence and nest-site limitation in a multispecies mutualism [PDF]
, 2015 Myrmecophyte plants house ants in domatia in exchange for protection from herbivores. Ant-myrmecophyte mutualisms exhibit two general patterns due to competition between ants for plant occupancy: i) domatia nest-sites are a limiting resource and ii) each

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.The holoparasitic tribe Orobancheae demonstrated significant gene losses in their nuclear‐encoded mitochondrial OXPHOS genes. Despite these losses, high resolution respirometry revealed robust mitochondrial respiration in Orobancheae by shifting activities to fully nuclear encoded alternative complexes. ABSTRACT Parasitic plants, characterized by their
