Growth Allocation Shifts in the Invasive Hydrilla verticillata Under Interspecific Competition with Native Submerged Macrophytes

Plants
Communities with high native species diversity tend to be less susceptible to the establishment of invasive species, especially in studies that test their local impact.

Silicon fertilization in maize increases attractiveness of nocturnal herbivore‐induced plant volatiles to Spodoptera frugiperda natural enemies

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Silicon (Si) fertilization enhances the attractiveness of plant volatiles emitted by fall armyworm‐infested maize plant to the predatory earwig Doru luteipes by triggering the emission of the terpene neryl acetate. Abstract BACKGROUND Silicon (Si) fertilization has been well‐documented to enhance plant resistance against insect pests by increasing the ...

Impacts of fire on canopy structure and its resilience depend on successional stage in Amazonian secondary forests

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We analyzed the effects of fire on secondary forests' vertical structure in different successional stages using lidar metrics. Our results show that independently of the successional stage, secondary forests that experienced fire were more degraded than unburned secondary forest areas. Overall, our results show that forests in early successional stage (

Next‐generation sequencing sheds new light on a major lineage of Acanthaceae, clarifying previously uncertain relationships in Barlerieae

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract The Acanthaceae tribe Barlerieae is an understudied lineage that consists of ca. 500 species, many of which are rare and range restricted. Though understudied, it is clear that many species play vital roles in tropical ecosystems, including supporting a wide range of pollinators and herbivores. The tribe contains 13 genera, the two largest and

Phylogenomics of African Melastomateae (Melastomataceae): Revisiting generic relationships, placement of three enigmatic taxa and description of two new genera

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary relationships within the Melastomateae, a diverse tribe within the Melastomataceae, are not yet completely resolved, and some putatively paleoendemic taxa that might alter relationships are still unsampled. This study employs a phylogenomic approach, utilizing target capture data, to revisit generic relationships and shed light on

Phylogenomic evidence reveals non‐monophyly of Paepalanthoideae (Eriocaulaceae) and challenges the broad concept of Paepalanthus

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Eriocaulaceae is a pantropical family of approximately 1200 species across 18 genera, with its highest diversity in the Neotropical region. Traditionally, the family has been divided into two subfamilies, Eriocauloideae and Paepalanthoideae, based on floral traits. Here, we use target‐capture sequencing of nuclear markers to test the monophyly

A survey of generic names in Rubiaceae (Gentianales) with notes on context and patterns in naming

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Rubiaceae is one of the most diverse angiosperm families and consequently is the topic of much systematic research. Plenty of literature exists on the familial, tribal, and species level; however, a comprehensive overview of the names at the generic level is lacking. The aim of this study is to present a survey of all names and designations at

Integrative taxonomy recognises four species within the legume Inga chocoensis (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae)

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract The legume genus Inga is a significant component of Neotropical wet forests. Despite extensive study, the identities and distributions of some species remain contentious. This study focuses on the Inga chocoensis complex, addressing the challenges in species delimitation due to morphological similarity of closely related species.
