Dioecy in a wind‐pollinated herb explained by disruptive selection on sex allocation via inbreeding avoidance

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 2733-2745, September 2025.
Summary The evolution of dioecy from hermaphroditism is widely thought to be a response to disruptive selection favoring males and females, driven by advantages of inbreeding avoidance, sexual specialization, or both. It has hitherto been difficult to uncouple the importance of these two hypotheses.

Strong genetic differentiation and low genetic diversity in a habitat‐forming fucoid seaweed (Cystophora racemosa) across 850 km of its range

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 539-557, June 2025.
Abstract Temperate seaweed forests are among the most productive and widespread habitats in coastal waters. However, they are under threat from climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. To effectively conserve and manage these ecosystems under these rising pressures, an understanding of the genetic diversity and structure of habitat‐forming ...

Population Genetics Meets Ecology: A Guide to Individual‐Based Simulations in Continuous Landscapes

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
This paper aims to be a practical guide to spatial simulation, helping researchers to implement realistic and efficient spatial, individual‐based simulations and avoid common pitfalls. We explore how mating, reproduction, density‐dependent feedback, dispersal, spatial and temporal heterogeneity, and natural selection affect population dynamics and ...

Insect–flower interactions, ecosystem functions, and restoration ecology in the northern Sahel: current knowledge and perspectives

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 969-995, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Actions for ecological restoration under the Great Green Wall (GGW) initiative in the northern Sahel have been plant focused, paying scant attention to plant–animal interactions that are essential to ecosystem functioning. Calls to accelerate implementation of the GGW make it timely to develop a more solid conceptual foundation for restoration

Monoecy, anemophily, anemochory and regeneration ecology of Hildegardia populifolia (Roxb.) Schott. and Endl. (Malvaceae), an economically important endemic and endangered dry deciduous tree species of southern Eastern Ghats, India

open access: yesJournal of Threatened Taxa, 2014
Hildegardia populifolia is a critically endangered tree species. All phenological events—leaf flushing, shedding, flowering, fruit dispersal occur one after the other during the dry season.

A review of sexual strategies in Cannabis sativa L. under genomic and environmental controls

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract Cannabis sativa L. (marijuana, hemp) is one of the few dioecious angiosperm species with sex chromosomes. Along with other closely related genera from the family Cannabaceae, C. sativa exhibits monoecious (unisexual flowers at different locations within the individual) and dioecious (two sexes in separate individuals) populations.

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

open access: yesPLANTS, 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.
