Nectar Robbery by Native and Invasive Bumblebees Reduces Floral Rewards but Not Seed Production in <i>Desfontainia fulgens</i>. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe evaluated nectar robbery by native and invasive bumblebees in the hummingbird‐pollinated shrub Desfontainia fulgens in southern Chile. Nectar robbery strongly reduced nectar standing crop and altered floral visitation patterns, but these proximate effects did not translate into reduced seed production under natural pollination conditions.

A cost-effective DNA extraction protocol for long-read sequencing in non-model plants. [PDF]
Appl Plant SciAbstract Premise Third‐generation sequencing has revolutionized genomics, enabling in‐depth analysis of genome sequence, structure, and epigenetic features. Yet, extracting high‐quality DNA for long‐read sequencing remains a bottleneck—particularly in non‐model plants, such as mature trees growing in natural environments, which often contain abundant ...

Cecinothofagus Nieves-Aldrey & Liljeblad (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae) is likely an endoparasitoid of the gall-maker genus Aditrochus Rübsaamen (Hymenoptera, Pteromalidae) [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2022 Paraulax Kieffer and Cecinothofagus Nieves-Aldrey & Liljeblad (Cynipidae: Paraulacini) were long supposed to be gall-makers on southern beeches (Nothofagus, Nothofagaceae).

Axis Differentiation in Two South American Nothofagus Species (Nothofagaceae) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2003 An analysis was carried out on the length, diameter and number of leaves, and the ratios between these variables for current-year growth units (sibling growth units) derived from different nodes of previous-year growth units (parent growth units) of young Nothofagus dombeyi and Nothofagus pumilio trees.

A systematic overview of Descolea (Agaricales) in the Nothofagaceae forests of Patagonia [PDF]
Fungal Biology, 2017 The descolea clade includes species of ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes in the genera Descolea, Setchelliogaster, Descomyces, and Timgrovea that are known primarily from the Southern Hemisphere. Taxa in this group produce basidiomes that range in morphology from typical epigeous mushrooms (Descolea) and secotioid taxa (Setchelliogaster) to fully ...

Local-scale topoclimate effects on treeline elevations: a country-wide investigation of New Zealand’s southern beech treelines [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Although treeline elevations are limited globally by growing season temperature, at regional scales treelines frequently deviate below their climatic limit.

Testing key tenets of pyro-ecophysiology: Indicators of drought response in relation to shoot flammability. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Relationships between flammability and drought tolerance influence vegetation dynamics during fires. A goal of the emerging subdiscipline of pyro‐ecophysiology is to identify ecophysiological traits that determine live fuel flammability, but empirical studies of these relationships are rare.

Overview of Phacidiales, including Aotearoamyces gen. nov. on Nothofagus
IMA Fungus, 2018 The new genus Aotearoamyces is proposed to accommodate a single species that was repeatedly collected on fallen wood in Nothofagaceae forests of New Zealand and was previously misidentified as a Claussenomyces species.
