Evolutionary and ecological insights from Cytinus: A plant within a plant

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 308-317, March 2025.
Cytinus is a group of plants that grow within other plants: a parasitic life cycle that has evolved just four times in the plant kingdom. Cytinus species are externally invisible for most of their life, emerging from their hosts only to flower and set seed.

Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Helicteres hirsuta Lour. 1790 (Helicteriodeae: Malvaceae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources
Helicteres hirsuta Lour. 1790 is a precious medicinal plant species, especially for treating chronic liver diseases. Genomic data on H. hirsuta are limited. Therefore, this current study aimed to characterize the chloroplast genome of H.

Reconstructing host plant repertoire and timing of evolution of phyline plant bugs (Hemiptera, Miridae)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 2, Page 181-195, March 2025.
Abstract The diversity of phytophagous insects is often attributed to the success of land plants in the framework of ecological speciation. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain host plant driven insect diversification in a phylogenetic context and have mostly been explored using Lepidoptera.

First Phylogeny of Bitterbush Family, Picramniaceae (Picramniales)

Plants, 2020
Picramniaceae is the only member of Picramniales which is sister to the clade (Sapindales (Huerteales (Malvales, Brassicales))) in the rosidsmalvids. Not much is known about most aspects of their ecology, geography, and morphology.

Rapid detection of RNase‐based self‐incompatibility in Lysimachia monelli (Primulaceae)

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Premise Primroses famously employ a system that simultaneously expresses distyly and filters out self‐pollen. Other species in the Primulaceae family, including Lysimachia monelli (blue pimpernel), also express self‐incompatibility (SI), but involving a system with distinct features and an unknown molecular genetic basis.

Continental‐scale interactions of Australian showy mistletoes and their hosts

American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Premise Showy mistletoes are obligate hemiparasites of woody plants. Host specificity is therefore a fundamental determinant of mistletoe diversity, persistence, geographic distribution, and abundance. Investigations of host specificity in Australian Loranthaceae have focused mostly on host range (taxon counts), but additional insights into ...

Tree diversity across the Minneapolis‐St. Paul Metropolitan Area in relation to climate and social vulnerability

Ecological Applications, Volume 34, Issue 8, December 2024.
Abstract Urban tree canopy cover is often unequally distributed across cities such that more socially vulnerable neighborhoods often have lower tree canopy cover than less socially vulnerable neighborhoods. However, how the diversity and composition of the urban canopy affect the nature of social‐ecological benefits (and burdens), including the urban ...
