A mosaic of colors: The influence of biotic and abiotic factors shaping flower color diversity across a tropical mountain ecosystem

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Premise Flower color diversity within communities is shaped by biotic and abiotic factors. Pollinators often prefer specific colors, and floral pigments also help protect against abiotic factors such as ultraviolet (UV) radiation, precipitation, and temperature.

Divergent genetic mechanisms underlie reversals to radial floral symmetry from diverse zygomorphic flowered ancestors

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Malpighiaceae possess flowers with a unique bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy), which is a hypothesized adaptation associated with specialization on neotropical oil bee pollinators.

Fire‐induced disturbances in Malpighiaceae sequential flowering: Implications for pollination services and plant reproductive success

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our study demonstrates that fire has a strong influence on flowering phenology and reproductive dynamics in Malpighiaceae species from the Brazilian Cerrado. Specifically, fire triggered an earlier onset of flowering and promoted a more synchronous and widespread blooming, resulting in a temporary surge in floral resource availability. This increase in

Similar genetic mechanisms underlie the parallel evolution of floral phenotypes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The repeated origin of similar phenotypes is invaluable for studying the underlying genetics of adaptive traits; molecular evidence, however, is lacking for most examples of such similarity.

REVISION OF MEZIA (MALPIGHIACEAE) [PDF]

open access: yesEdinburgh Journal of Botany, 2018
The Neotropical genus Mezia (Malpighiaceae) comprises 15 species of lianas (except M. huberi W.R.Anderson, a shrub or small tree). All have multibranched, densely brown-sericeous inflorescences with the ultimate unit a 4-flowered umbel of bilaterally symmetrical flowers.

Oviposition Activity of an Invasive Fruit Fly Species at Different Densities in Laboratory

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 1, Page 45-52, January 2026.
Bactrocera carambolae Drew & Hancock, 1994 (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a major fruit fly pest affecting Brazil's international fruit trade due to phytosanitary restrictions. Although currently restricted to northern Brazil, little is known about its oviposition behavior. In this study, we investigated the daily oviposition pattern of B.

Structural and Functional Co‐Adaptation of Plants of the Genus Lysimachia L. (Primulaceae) and Pollinating Insects of the Genus Macropis Panzer (Hymenoptera, Melittidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
The co‐adaptation of bees from the genus Macropis and Lysimachia plants has been studied in detail. Research shows that bees collect not just pure liquid oil from flower petals but tear off trichome heads filled with oil, transferring them to their nests.

The complete chloroplast genome of Hiptage benghalensis (L.) Kurz and its phylogenetic analysis in malpighiaceae

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
Hiptage benghalensis (L.) Kurz 1874, an economically significant woody liana in the Malpighiaceae family, lacks a reported chloroplast genome, hindering its phylogenetic analysis.

Sphallenum tuberosum (Coleopteria: Cerambycidae) em plantas de Eucalyptus spp. no Município de Prado, Bahia Sphallenum tuberosum (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Eucalyptus spp. plants in the Municipality of Prado, Bahia, Brazil

open access: yesRevista Árvore, 2005
Foi observada a ocorrência da coleobroca Sphallenum tuberosum Bates, 1870 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) atacando árvores de Eucalyptus cloesiana e Eucalyptus grandis no Município de Prado, Estado da Bahia, em setembro de 2002. As árvores atacadas, saudáveis

A Deep Metagenomic Snapshot as a Proof‐of‐Concept for Resource Generation: Simultaneous Assembly of Host, Food, and Microbiome Genomes From Stingless Bee Larval Food

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study serves as a proof‐of‐concept, demonstrating that deep shotgun sequencing of a single complex sample—stingless bee larval food—can simultaneously generate multiple genomic resources. From this dataset, we assembled three genomes (a near‐complete bacterium, a draft host mitochondrion, and a fragmented plant chloroplast) with varying ...
