Was the evolution of faster stomata driven by increased gas exchange rates rather than increasing water use efficiency? [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Following changes in light flux, photosynthesis (A) typically adjusts more quickly than stomatal conductance (gs), which is dependent on changes in stomatal aperture. Faster stomatal responses are proposed to reduce water loss and enhance growth in dynamic light environments. Stomatal opening and closing parameters were determined in a range of

A new species of Melitaea from Israel, with notes on taxonomy, cytogenetics, phylogeography and interspecific hybridization in the Melitaea persea complex (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae)

Comparative Cytogenetics, 2017
Specimens with intermediate morphology are often considered to be the result of ongoing interspecific hybridization; however, this conclusion is difficult to prove without analysis of chromosomal and/or molecular markers. In the butterfly genus Melitaea,
