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

Journal 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 ...

American 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 ...

Evolution, Volume 75, Issue 10, Page 2589-2599, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Heteranthery, the presence of distinct stamen types within a flower, is commonly explained as functional adaptation to alleviate the “pollen dilemma,” defined as the dual and conflicting function of pollen as pollinator food resource and male reproductive agent.

TAXON, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 793-825, August 2021., 2021 Abstract The Dissochaeta alliance (= subtribe Dissochaetinae) is a group of woody climbing taxa within tribe Dissochaeteae (Melastomataceae) and comprises 90 species mainly distributed in Southeast Asia. The circumscription of the alliance and its genera has been problematic when based on only morphological characters. With a broad sampling of relevant

Low bee visitation rates explain pollinator shifts to vertebrates in tropical mountains
New Phytologist, Volume 231, Issue 2, Page 864-877, July 2021., 2021 Summary Evolutionary shifts from bee to vertebrate pollination are common in tropical mountains. Reduction in bee pollination efficiency under adverse montane weather conditions was proposed to drive these shifts. Although pollinator shifts are central to the evolution and diversification of angiosperms, we lack experimental evidence of the ecological ...
