Conservation applications of niche modeling: Native and naturalized ferns may compete for limited Hawaiian dryland habitat. [PDF]
Appl Plant SciAbstract Premise Competition from naturalized species and habitat loss are common threats to native biodiversity and may act synergistically to increase competition for decreasing habitat availability. We use Hawaiian dryland ferns as a model for the interactions between land‐use change and competition from naturalized species in determining habitat ...

Characterize the Complete Mitogenome of <i>Semiaquilegia guangxiensis</i> and Assess the Efficiency of the Mitochondrial Genes in Ranunculales Phylogeny. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we assembled and annotated the whole mitogenome of S. guangxiensis and explored its evolution, including analyzing repeat sequences, codon usage, intergenomic transfer, and RNA editing sites. Moreover, we assessed and prioritized the usefulness of the mitochondrial genes in phylogenetics according to the combination of multiple metrics ...

Distinct expression and methylation patterns for genes with different fates following a single whole-genome duplication in flowering plants [PDF]
, 2020 For most sequenced flowering plants, multiple whole-genome duplications (WGDs) are found. Duplicated genes following WGD often have different fates that can quickly disappear again, be retained for long(er) periods, or subsequently undergo small-scale ...
