Phylogenetic signals and predictability in plant–soil feedbacks [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2020
Summary There is strong evidence for a phylogenetic signal in the degree to which species share co‐evolved biotic partners and in the outcomes of biotic interactions.

Diet specialization and brood parasitism in cuckoo species

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Brood parasitism is a breeding strategy adopted by many species of cuckoos across the world. This breeding strategy influences the evolution of life histories of brood parasite species.

Tilapia lake virus: A structured phylogenetic approach

Frontiers in Genetics, 2023
Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV), also known as Tilapia tilapinevirus, is an emerging pathogen affecting both wild and farmed tilapia (Oreochromis spp.), which is considered one of the most important fish species for human consumption. Since its first report in

Choreography of silk spinning by webspinners (Insecta: Embioptera) reflects lifestyle and hints at phylogeny [PDF]

, 2016
Silk spinning defines the morphologically constrained embiopterans. All individuals spin for protection, including immatures, adult males and the wingless females. Enlarged front tarsi are packed with silk glands and clothed with ejectors.

Stronger linkage of diversity-carbon decomposition for rare rather than abundant bacteria in woodland soils

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Soil microbial diversity is important for maintaining ecosystem functions. However, the linkage between microbial diversity, especially rare and abundant bacterial diversity, and carbon decomposition remains largely unknown.

Hierarchical steepness and phylogenetic models: phylogenetic signals in Macaca

Animal Behaviour, 2012
Phylogenetic models of primate social behaviour posit that core social traits are inherent species characteristics that depend largely on phylogenetic histories of species rather than on adaptation to current socioecological conditions. These models predict that aspects of social structure will vary more between species than within species and that ...

Maximize Resolution or Minimize Error? Using Genotyping-By-Sequencing to Investigate the Recent Diversification of Helianthemum (Cistaceae) [PDF]

, 2019
A robust phylogenetic framework, in terms of extensive geographical and taxonomic sampling, well-resolved species relationships and high certainty of tree topologies and branch length estimations, is critical in the study of macroevolutionary patterns ...

Character evolution of modern eupolypods supports the assignment of the fossil fern Cretacifilix fungiformis to Dryopteridaceae

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The fossil fern species Cretacifilix fungiformis from mid-Cretaceous Kachin amber from Myanmar was previously assigned to eupolypod ferns for having sporangia with a vertical annulus and sporangial stalks 2–3 cells thick, along with monolete spores with ...

Climatic responses and variability in bark anatomical traits of 23 Picea species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
In woody plants, bark is an important protective tissue which can participate in photosynthesis, manage water loss, and transport assimilates. Studying the bark anatomical traits can provide insight into plant environmental adaptation strategies. However,
