Evolutionary diversity impacts tropical forest biomass and productivity through disturbance‐mediated ecological pathways

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 10, Page 2344-2358, October 2024.
By disentangling the effects of evolutionary diversity on the different components of forest biomass, this framework unveils how evolutionary diversity impacts forest productivity through different ecological mechanisms, and suggests that it plays a major role, albeit mainly negative, only soon after a disturbance.

Carpels in Brasenia (Cabombaceae) are Completely Ascidiate Despite a Long Stigmatic Crest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
• Background and Aims The morphological structure of anthetic carpels of Brasenia (Cabombaceae), a member of the phylogenetically basal ANITA grade, has not been studied before. The carpel has a long stigmatic crest on the ventral side and could give the

A comparative analysis of plastome evolution in autotrophic Piperales

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Premise Many plastomes of autotrophic Piperales have been reported to date, describing a variety of differences. Most studies focused only on a few species or a single genus, and extensive, comparative analyses have not been done. Here, we reviewed publicly available plastome reconstructions for autotrophic Piperales, reanalyzed publicly ...

Complete plastid genome sequences of Drimys, Liriodendron, and Piper: implications for the phylogenetic relationships of magnoliids

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006
Background The magnoliids with four orders, 19 families, and 8,500 species represent one of the largest clades of early diverging angiosperms. Although several recent angiosperm phylogenetic analyses supported the monophyly of magnoliids and suggested ...

Polinizadores y polinización en frutales subtropicales : implicaciones en manejo, conservación y seguridad alimentaria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The commercialization and consumption of tropical fruits has grown worldwide during the last decade. This trend is expected to continue, due to the increasing world population and the greater demand for these products in western markets. As in most fruit

Angiosperm‐wide analysis of fruit and ovary evolution aided by a new nuclear phylogeny supports association of the same ovary type with both dry and fleshy fruits

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 2, Page 228-251, February 2024.
Phylogenetic analysis and molecular dating elucidate relationships for orders and families, trace crown angiosperms’ Triassic origin, unveil parallel carpel fusions in early eudicots, monocots, and magnoliids and associate specific fruit types sharing the same ovary type.

Pollen development in Mill. (Annonaceae). Implications for the evolution of aggregated pollen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In most flowering plants, pollen is dispersed as monads. However, aggregated pollen shedding in groups of four or more pollen grains has arisen independently several times during angiosperm evolution.
