An Embryological Analysis of Myrtales: Its Definition and Characteristics [PDF]
I concur in the delimitation of the order Myrtales proposed by Dahlgren and Thorne (this symposium), except for the position of the Thymelaeaceae, which they exclude. The Thymelaeaceae are chemically discordant with the Myrtales, but they cannot reasonably be attached to any other order as now constituted.

Older Lineages of Vascular Plants in Wetlands Dominate in Habitats That Are More Ubiquitous Across the Region: A Case Study in Southern Africa. [PDF]
Wetlands are dominated by different lineages of vascular plants in different habitats. ABSTRACT Vascular plants that presently grow and often dominate wetland habitats are mostly derived from ancestors adapted to dry terrestrial environments. We hypothesize that recently evolved wetland lineages dominate more challenging or novel wetland environments ...

The Embryology and Relationships of Alzatea Ruiz & Pav. (Alzateaceae, Myrtales)
Three leaf flavonoids are reported from the Alzateaceae, a monotypic family of the New World tropics. Two are flavonol 3-0-glycosides: quercetin 3-0-glucoside and quercetin 3-0-diglucoside. The third is tentatively identified as 5,4'dihydroxy flavone. The presence of these flavonols is consistent with the position of Alzatea in the Myrtales.

Flavonoids of Rhynchocalycaceae (Myrtales)
Rhynchocalycaceae is a monotypic family represented by the rare Rhynchocalyx lawsonioides from South Africa. Although unquestionably myrtalean, it is isolated in the order with closest affinity to Alzatea verticillata in the monotypic Alzateaceae. Foliar flavonoids of Rhynchocalyx are reported for the first time.

Herbivory Dominates the Spring Diet of American Black Bears (<i>Ursus americanus</i>) in a Wood Bison (<i>Bison bison athabascae</i>) Neonatal Range, Suggesting Minimal Bison Consumption. [PDF]
In this study, we used scat analysis and DNA metabarcoding to analyze the spring diet of black bears in the neonatal range of a small, threatened wood bison herd in northeast Alberta to assess predation risk of neonate bison. Our results suggest that consumption rates of bison are low and that predation risk to neonate wood bison, during the RLBH's ...
