Evaluating Volatile Plant Compounds of Psidium galapageium (Myrtales: Myrtaceae) as Repellents Against Invasive Parasitic Diptera in the Galapagos Islands

Journal of medical entomology, 2021
Plant-based repellents represent a safe, economic, and viable alternative to managing invasive insects that threaten native fauna. Observations of self-medication in animals can provide important cues to the medicinal properties of plants. A recent study

The impact of receptacular growth on polyandry in the Myrtales

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 1991
RONSE DECRAENE, L.-P. & SMETS, E., 1991. The impact of receptacular growth on polyandry in the Myrtales. The androecium of the Myrtales shows a wide variation in structure and development, linked with an original diplostemony. The difference between a centrifugal stamen inception in Lythraceae against a centripetal inception in other families has been ...

EMBRYOLOGY AND SYSTEMATIC POSITION OF HETEROPYXIS (MYRTALES)

American Journal of Botany, 1987
We present here the first study of the embryology of Heteropyxis, in order to evaluate its relationships with Myrtaceae, a family in which it has often been placed. On the basis of embryology, Heteropyxis is undoubtedly very closely allied to Myrtaceae, but is distinct in possessing 1) a bisporic Allium type embryo sac, 2) a condition in which the two ...

Adulticidal Activity of Melaleuca alternifolia (Myrtales: Myrtaceae) Essential Oil With High 1,8-Cineole Content Against Stable Flies (Diptera: Muscidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2020
The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus 1758), is a hematophagous fly responsible for causing loss of performance in horses, causing losses in cattle productivity, and impacting the animals' health through the spread of pathogenic microorganisms ...

The number of cells in the pollen of Melastomataceae (Myrtales)

The Botanical Magazine Tokyo, 1984
The mature pollen of Melastomataceae is not three-celled, as reported earlier, but two-celled. Two-celled mature pollen is characteristic of all Myrtales, excluding Thymelaeaceae.

Assessing herbivorous insects as potential biological controls for the invasive species Miconia calvescens (Myrtales: Melastomataceae)

, 2021
Biological control methods may provide efficient and environmentally sustainable methods for curbing invasive weeds. Miconia calvescens DC (Melastomataceae) is an invasive weed of forest ecosystems on oceanic islands and one of the most invasive alien ...

THE ANATOMY OF ALZATEA RUIZ & PAV. (MYRTALES)

Acta Botanica Neerlandica, 1979
SUMMARY The mature xylem of Alzatea is described for the first time, based on material from its new locality in Costa Rica. The wood anatomy pleads against inclusion of Alzatea in Crypteroniaceae but can be cited in favour of Lythraceous affinities of the genus.

Molecular phylogeny and floral evolution of Penaeaceae, Oliniaceae, Rhynchocalycaceae, and Alzateaceae (Myrtales)

American Journal of Botany, 2003
We derive detailed relationships among and within the African Penaeaceae, Oliniaceae, Rhynchocalycaceae, and Central and South American Alzateaceae based on six chloroplast data sets that include sequences of all genera and most species. This is the first study addressing intrafamilial relationships of Penaeaceae and Oliniaceae based on molecular data.

Interfamilial Relationships in Myrtales: Molecular Phylogeny and Patterns of Morphological Evolution

Systematic Botany, 1997
Numerous phenotypic (morphological, palynological, cytological, and anatomical) studies have been conducted on Myrtales, yet the detailed relationships among the families of the order remain elusive. In this paper, the rbcL sequences of 50 taxa (39 representatives of Myrtales and 11 rosid outgroups) were analyzed using parsimony and maximum likelihood ...
