The systematic placement of the South African Apoprogones hesperistis Hampson and southern South American Ona australis gen. et sp. n. has been controversial. Based on mitogenomes, phylogenomic data and morphological evidence, we classify both taxa to the moth family Apoprogonidae stat. rev., whose members lack abdominal hearing organs.

The evolutionary history of Nothofagus (Nothofagaceae) [PDF]
A cladistic analysis of Nothofagus is presented. Comparison of potential outgroups (Fagus and Betulaceae) suggests that Fagus is most satisfactory, but clear morphological differences between it and Nothofagus support the placement of the latter in the ...

EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF NOTHOFAGUS (NOTHOFAGACEAE) SPECIES FROM THE SUBANTARCTIC FOREST UNDER EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS OF LIGHT, SUBSTRATE AND ECOLOGICAL INTERACTION [PDF]
The entry of trees into a community is an irregular process often constrained by species interactions and regeneration niche. We experimentally examined the effect of light intensity (high, medium and low), substrate type (mineral and cover with litter ...

ABSTRACT Bryophytes are important to terrestrial ecosystems, as they build soil and improve habitats for vascular plants. We investigated the influence of substrate pH, light, and cover of lichens and vascular plants on bryophyte communities in different microhabitats near the Lewis Pass.

Pollen morphology of Nothofagus (Nothofagaceae, Fagales) and its phylogenetic significance [PDF]
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,

Dynamics of southern beech (Nothofagaceae) stands in the lowland North Island of New Zealand [PDF]
In south-central Chile, the dynamics of southern beech (Nothofagaceae) stands vary predictably along climatic gradients. Beeches form persistent stands at high elevations, but their establishment on lowland sites depends mainly on catastrophic ...

ABSTRACT Mycorrhizal fungi, which form symbiotic associations with plant roots, can be critical to the successful establishment of plants. Up to 90% of land plant species form associations with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which develop fungal structures inside host roots.

Viability of seed balls for large‐scale restoration of native plant communities in New Zealand
ABSTRACT Aerial seed broadcast by aircraft is a promising approach to ecosystem restoration and land rehabilitation over large, remote, and inaccessible areas. Aerial seeding has been used internationally for forest and grassland restoration since the 1930s but is not commonly applied to ecosystem restoration in New Zealand. Advances in unmanned aerial

What happens to the mycorrhizal communities of native and exotic seedlings when Pseudotsuga menziesii invades Nothofagaceae forests in Patagonia, Argentina? [PDF]
Pseudotsuga menziesii is one of the most widely planted conifers in the Patagonian Andes of Argentina, having invading characteristics that are broadly reported. We studied the mycorrhizal status of seedlings along six Nothofagaceae + P.
