Variability in mating strategies in a widespread cactus in the Chihuahuan Desert
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2022, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Opuntia is the most diverse and widespread genus in the Cactaceae; several species have broad distribution ranges and have successfully adapted to distinct habitats. One explanation for their success is the diversity of their reproductive systems. Opuntia macrocentra is one of the most common widespread species in North American deserts.

American Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 5, Page 706-726, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Premise Accurate species delimitation is essential for evolutionary biology, conservation, and biodiversity management. We studied species delimitation in North American pinyon pines, Pinus subsection Cembroides, a natural group with high levels of incomplete lineage sorting.

Mating system of Pachycereus pringlei: an autotetraploid cactus [PDF]
Heredity, 1994 The mating system of the Mexican subdioecious columnar cactus, Pachycereus pringlei (Cardon), was examined by allozyme analysis. Tetrasomic patterns of inheritance were found for all polymorphic loci, indicating that the species is an autotetraploid.

Asynchronous flowering patterns in saguaro cacti (Carnegiea gigantea)
Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021 Abstract The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea [Engelm.] Britton & Rose) is a keystone species endemic to the Sonoran Desert of northern Mexico and the southwestern United States. The saguaro produces large white flowers near its stem apex (crown) during April–June, which bloom at night and close the following day.

Human food use increases plant geographical ranges in the Sonoran Desert
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 30, Issue 7, Page 1461-1473, July 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim Climate is usually regarded as the main determinant of plant species distributions. However, past human use of species for food might also have influenced distributions. We hypothesized that human‐mediated dispersal has resulted in food plants occupying more of their potential geographical range.
