Connective appendages in Huberia bradeana (Melastomataceae) affect pollen release during buzz pollination. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg), 2021 Huberia bradeana (Melastomataceae) has poricidal flowers with specialized stamen appendages that are crucial in transmitting vibrations and assuring optimal pollen release in buzz‐pollinated flowers. Abstract Floral structures, such as stamen appendages, play crucial roles in pollinator attraction, pollen release dynamics and, ultimately, the ...

Mountain colonization precedes shifts away from bee pollination in Melastomataceae. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Shifts among different groups of pollinators are central in the evolution of flowering plants, yet mechanisms underlying pollinator shifts remain unclear. Environment‐induced reduction in pollinator availability and hence efficiency may destabilize ancestral plant–pollinator interactions and trigger shifts to new, more efficient pollinators ...

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.

Following glaziou’s footsteps: rediscovery and updated description of three species of behuria cham. (melastomataceae) from the Atlantic forest (Brazil) [PDF]
, 2021 This study was carried out in the state of Rio de Janeiro and led to the rediscovery of three endemic and threatened species of Behuria (Melastomataceae). The type specimens for these species were collected by the French botanist A.F.M. Glaziou.

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 ...

Historical biogeography of the Southeast Asian and Malesian tribe Dissochaeteae (Melastomataceae)
Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 237-252, March 2022., 2022 Abstract The region of Tropical Southeast Asia and the Malay Archipelago is a very appealing area for research due to its outstanding biodiversity, being one of the most species‐rich areas in the world with high levels of endemism, and due to its complex geological history.

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.
