Dispersal limitation and seed predation drive rarity of a plant species at its range edge
Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.Contrary to the assumption that species occur at a low frequency near their range edges due to a lack of suitable habitat, we found that dispersal limitation coupled with biotic interactions can predominantly drive the rarity of Stylophorum diphyllum. Habitat suitability estimated by the species distribution model did not predict seedling emergence or ...

The complete chloroplast genome of Cymbidium changningense (Orchidaceae)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 Cymbidium changningense is an ornamental orchid and endemic specie in China. Here, we report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence and the cp genome features of C. changningense. The cp genome was 155,388 bp in length with a typical quadripartite

Missouri Botanical Garden's cycad collection: A journey through time
Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.This article summarizes the history of the Missouri Botanical Garden's extensive cycad collection. Some of the specimens currently housed in the living collections date back well over 100 years. Cycads continue to face a myriad of threats in the wild, and their conservation in ex situ collections is of critical importance to assist in their survival ...

High‐efficiency CRISPR/Cas‐based editing of Phalaenopsis orchid MADS genes
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2019 Phalaenopsis orchids are popular potted ornamental plants around the world due to their beauty, floral diversity, and long indoor blooming period. Orchids are also important in plant research, having tiny, dust-like seeds, crassulacean acid metabolism ...

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.Hybrids vulnerable to drought may increase postzygotic isolation in hybrid zones. Drought experiments can reveal the influence of climate change on hybrid zones. Crassulacean acid metabolism in parental species and hybrids was negatively affected by drought.

More than fruity scents: Pollination biology, scent, and spectral reflectance of Annonaceae species
Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.We characterised the floral visual and olfactory cues of numerous Annonaceae species and reported their pollinators. We further assessed the olfactory space of most Annonaceae species available in the literature. Abstract The family Annonaceae possesses a broad array of floral phenotypes and pollination specializations, and are important in the plant ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...
