First Phylogeny of Bitterbush Family, Picramniaceae (Picramniales) [PDF]
Picramniaceae is the only member of Picramniales which is sister to the clade (Sapindales (Huerteales (Malvales, Brassicales))) in the rosidsmalvids. Not much is known about most aspects of their ecology, geography, and morphology.

The leaf breakdown of Picramnia sellowii (Picramniales: Picramniaceae) as index of anthropic disturbances in tropical streams [PDF]
There are few studies in tropical regions exploring the use of leaf breakdown process as a functional tool to assess anthropic disturbance on aquatic ecosystems.

The Euscaphis japonica genome and the evolution of malvids. [PDF]
SUMMARY Malvids is one of the largest clades of rosids, includes 58 families and exhibits remarkable morphological and ecological diversity. Here, we report a high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly for Euscaphis japonica, an early‐diverging species within malvids.

Phylogenomics and the rise of the angiosperms. [PDF]
Angiosperms are the cornerstone of most terrestrial ecosystems and human livelihoods$^{1,2}$. A robust understanding of angiosperm evolution is required to explain their rise to ecological dominance.

Plant–frugivore interactions across the Caribbean islands: Modularity, invader complexes and the importance of generalist species [PDF]
Abstract Aim Mutualistic interactions between plants and animals are fundamental for the maintenance of natural communities and the ecosystem services they provide. However, particularly in human‐dominated island ecosystems, introduced species may alter mutualistic interactions.

Estimating rates and patterns of diversification with incomplete sampling: a case study in the rosids. [PDF]
Premise Recent advances in generating large‐scale phylogenies enable broad‐scale estimation of species diversification. These now common approaches typically are characterized by (1) incomplete species coverage without explicit sampling methodologies and/or (2) sparse backbone representation, and usually rely on presumed phylogenetic placements to ...

Plastid phylogenomic insights into relationships of all flowering plant families. [PDF]
Background Flowering plants (angiosperms) are dominant components of global terrestrial ecosystems, but phylogenetic relationships at the familial level and above remain only partially resolved, greatly impeding our full understanding of ...

Challenges of comprehensive taxon sampling in comparative biology: Wrestling with rosids [PDF]
Abstract Using phylogenetic approaches to test hypotheses on a large scale, in terms of both species sampling and associated species traits and occurrence data—and doing this with rigor despite all the attendant challenges—is critical for addressing many broad questions in evolution and ecology.

Insect pollination for most of angiosperm evolutionary history
Summary Most contemporary angiosperms (flowering plants) are insect pollinated, but pollination by wind, water or vertebrates occurs in many lineages. Though evidence suggests insect pollination may be ancestral in angiosperms, this is yet to be assessed across the full phylogeny.
