Molecular phylogenetic relationships among populations of Sagittaria aginashi Makino (Alismataceae) and endemic Chinese species

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2019
The aquatic plant Sagittaria aginashi, which is an endangered emergent species distributed in South Korea, Japan, and the Russian Far East, has an unclear phylogeny and genetic structure.

Climate‐driven niche filtering limits post‐dispersal establishment and genomic introgression in a riverine shrub

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrated biogeographic analysis and macroecological insights reveal that habitat differences drive genetic differentiation Debregeasia orientalis C. J. Chen, a dominant riparian shrub distributed across multiple biodiversity hotspots, and different lineages vary greatly in adaptability to future climate.

Factors driving seed dispersal in a Neotropical river-floodplain system

Acta Botânica Brasílica
Dispersal is a key process affecting the diversity of natural communities. We addressed hydrochory of wetland plant seeds in the Middle Paraná River floodplain. We first studied seed dispersal by drifting macrophytes in the Paraná River main channel (MC),

HYDROCHORY IN Astrophytum coahuilense: EXPERIMENT TO IDENTIFY SEMINAL STRUCTURES THAT PROVIDE ITS BUOYANCY [PDF]

Polibotánica, 2018
espanolResumen: Las semillas hidrocoras generalmente poseen algun tipo de estructuras para la dispersion en agua. Las estructuras pueden presentar menos densidad que el agua, peso especifico bajo, camaras de aire, tejido esponjoso y cotiledones pequenos con tejido esponjoso.

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 2053-2076, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Zoochoric and hydrochoric maritime dispersal of the Opuntia monacantha (Willd.) Haw. (Cactaceae) [PDF]

Biotemas, 2012
Evolutionary adaptations in the morphology and physiology of cactus species have been associated to their mechanisms of dispersal and colonization. The dispersal mechanisms and modes of Opuntia monacantha (Willd.) Haw.

Hydrochory as a means for Mediterranean vineyards revegetation

, 2022
Due to the consequences of human activities, maintaining biodiversity has recently become a major concern, especially among western countries. Maintaining biodiversity means protecting natural habitats, but also facilitating biodiversity circulation since human activities impede biodiversity circulation in fragmented habitats (Foley et al., 2005 ...

Phylogeography of the Oriental Plane Tree Uncovers Ancient Colonization Routes Across the Mediterranean Basin

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The oriental plane tree is a Tertiary relict species with a fragmented range across southeastern Europe and southwestern Asia, forming a key component of riparian forest vegetation. Despite its ecological and cultural importance, the evolutionary history of this tree species has remained unclear, particularly regarding the relative ...

From distant shores to an emerging island: the role of surface and subsurface transport in modeling seed dispersal

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Long‐distance seed dispersal by ocean currents plays a critical role in structuring coastal plant communities. As direct observations of this phenomenon are infeasible, numerical modeling is a valuable tool. Here, we use Lagrangian particle tracking to examine the colonization of the newly forming island Norderoogsand (German Bight, Wadden Sea) by five
