Papilionoid inflorescences revisited (Leguminosae-Papilionoideae) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2012 The inflorescence structure determines the spatiotemporal arrangement of the flowers during anthesis and is therefore vital for reproductive success. The Leguminosae are among the largest angiosperm plant families and they include some important crop plants. In papilionoid legumes, the raceme is the most common type of inflorescence.

Molecular mechanisms of sex determination in Lepidoptera: current status and perspectives
Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 599-617, April 2026.The genetic basis of sex determination in Lepidoptera was discovered in 2014 in the silkworm Bombyx mori. In this model species, the W chromosome‐derived small piRNA called Fem piRNA downregulates the expression of a Z‐linked gene, Masculinizer (Masc), which leads to the default female‐specific splicing of the doublesex gene (dsxF) and thus to female ...

Three Decades of Butterfly–Plant Interaction Turnover Explained by Climate and Species Loss
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.Long‐term biodiversity loss reshapes interaction dynamics inpollination networks. Communities become increasingly dominated bygeneralist species that are more capable of rewiring interactions thanspecialists. However, rewiring declines over time as species lossreduces the pool of potential partners, progressively raising thecontribution of species ...
