Evolution of Climatic Related Leaf Traits in the Family Nothofagaceae [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 The current relationship between leaf traits and environmental variables has been widely used as a proxy for climate estimates. However, it has been observed that the phylogenetic relationships between taxa also influence the evolution of climatic ...

Pollen morphology of Nothofagus (Nothofagaceae, Fagales) and its phylogenetic significance [PDF]
Acta Palaeobotanica, 2016 Nothofagaceae (southern beeches) are a relatively small flowering plant family of trees confined to the Southern Hemisphere. The fossil record of the family is abundant and it has been widely used as a test case for the classic hypothesis that Antarctica,

Loose Ends in the Cortinarius Phylogeny: Five New Myxotelamonoid Species Indicate a High Diversity of These Ectomycorrhizal Fungi with South American Nothofagaceae [PDF]
Life, 2021 This paper is a contribution to the current knowledge of taxonomy, ecology and distribution of South American Cortinarius (Pers.) Gray. Cortinarius is among the most widely distributed and species-rich basidiomycete genera occurring with South American ...

Neogene plant macrofossils from West Antarctica reveal persistence of Nothofagaceae forests into the early Miocene [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentThe extinction of woody vegetation in Antarctica remains difficult to constrain due to its fragmented macrofossil record. Despite its long-standing polar position, Antarctica hosted extensive vegetation throughout the Paleogene.

Pre-Courtship Behavior of Proholopterus chilensis (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in a Nothofagus obliqua (Nothofagaceae) Forest [PDF]
InsectsThe pre-courtship behavior of Proholopterus chilensis on Nothofagus obliqua trees was recorded for the first time, documenting a putative female “calling” behavior and the consequent male “oriented search,” enabling the description of behavioral units ...

New Species and Records of Nothofagicola n. sp. (Eriophyoidea, Phytoptidae) from Chile and Updated Key to the World Genera of the Tribe Sierraphytoptini Keifer 1944 [PDF]
AnimalsThe monophyletic lineage Phytoptidae s. str. (Acariformes, Eriophyoidea) comprises ~75 described species in 17 genera associated with angiosperms. Since the last keys to the world genera of Eriophyoidea were published in 2003, five new phytoptid genera ...

Trophic facilitation in forest restoration: Can Nothofagus trees use ectomycorrhizal fungi of the pioneer shrub Leptospermum? [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe benefits of plant‐to‐plant facilitation in ecological restoration are well recognized, yet the potential for indirect trophic facilitation remains understudied.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi and the nitrogen economy of Nothofagus in southern Patagonia [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSubantarctic Nothofagus forests are the southernmost forests in the world, with negligible atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition. Most paradigms about the role of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi in N cycling and plant N uptake at high latitudes have been ...
