Population structure in Neotropical plants: Integrating pollination biology, topography and climatic niches. [PDF]

open access: yesMol Ecol, 2022
Abstract Animal pollinators mediate gene flow among plant populations, but in contrast to well‐studied topographic and (Pleistocene) environmental isolating barriers, their impact on population genetic differentiation remains largely unexplored. Comparing how these multifarious factors drive microevolutionary histories is, however, crucial for better ...

Beyond buzz-pollination - departures from an adaptive plateau lead to new pollination syndromes. [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytol, 2019
Summary Pollination syndromes describe recurring adaptation to selection imposed by distinct pollinators. We tested for pollination syndromes in Merianieae (Melastomataceae), which contain bee‐ (buzz‐), hummingbird‐, flowerpiercer‐, passerine‐, bat‐ and rodent‐pollinated species.

Dillenia (Dilleniaceae) pollen heteromorphy and presentation, and implications for pollination by bats. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Dillenia species, like all members of the phylogenetically mysterious family Dilleniaceae, were believed to be nectarless and pollinated by bees until the discovery that D. biflora was pollinated by bats in Fiji. Uniform stamens and apical anther pores, dominant traits in species suspected to be pollinated by bats because their corollas do not open ...

Primers for low-copy nuclear genes in the Melastomataceae. [PDF]

open access: yesAppl Plant Sci, 2016
Premise of the study: Low‐copy nuclear gene primers were developed for phylogenetic studies across the Melastomataceae. Methods and Results: Total genomic libraries from eight species in the Melastomataceae along with one transcriptome were used for marker identification and primer design.

Phylogeny and systematics of the tribe Sonerileae (Melastomataceae) in Africa: A revised taxonomic classification

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 657-681, July 2023., 2023
The first in‐depth phylogenetic analysis of African Sonerileae to test monophyly of the currently recognized genera is here presented. Phylogenetic analyses neither support monophyly of the Old World nor African Sonerileae. The genera Calvoa, Dicellandra, Gravesia, and Preussiella form well‐supported clades while Amphiblemma and Cincinnobotrys are not ...

Using geometric morphometrics to determine the “fittest” floral shape: A case study in large‐flowered, buzz‐pollinated Meriania hernandoi

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 110, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Premise Floral shape (relative arrangement and position of floral organs) is critical in mediating fit with pollinators and maximizing conspecific pollen transfer particularly in functionally specialized systems. To date, however, few studies have attempted to quantify flowers as the inherently three‐dimensional (3D) structures they are and ...
