Genomic characterization of repetitive DNA and transposable elements in Dyckia (Pitcairnioideae) species [PDF]
BMC Research NotesObjective Repetitive DNA comprises the majority of nuclear genomes in eukaryotes and is critical for genome stability, gene regulation and evolutionary innovation. Yet, most genomic surveys focus on lowcopy regions, leaving repeats underexplored.

Taxon-specific or universal? Using target capture to study the evolutionary history of rapid radiations. [PDF]
Mol Ecol Resour, 2022 Abstract Target capture has emerged as an important tool for phylogenetics and population genetics in nonmodel taxa. Whereas developing taxon‐specific capture probes requires sustained efforts, available universal kits may have a lower power to reconstruct relationships at shallow phylogenetic scales and within rapidly radiating clades. We present here

Geography, environment and organismal traits in the diversification of a major tropical herbaceous angiosperm radiation. [PDF]
AoB Plants, 2018 The generation of plant diversity involves complex interactions between geography, environment, and organismal traits. Many macroevolutionary processes and emergent patterns have been identified in different plant groups through the study of spatial data,

Leaf epidermis of the rheophyte Dyckia brevifolia Baker (Bromeliaceae). [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournal, 2013 Some species of Dyckia Schult. f., including Dyckia brevifolia Baker, are rheophytes that live in the fast‐moving water currents of streams and rivers which are subject to frequent flooding, but also period of low water. This study aimed to analyze the leaf epidermis of D.

Ecosystem services provided by bromeliad plants: A systematic review. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 Bromeliads have been widely used as a model system for testing fundamental ecological theory; nevertheless, their benefits to the surrounding ecosystems and human society have been largely overlooked. Using a systematic review, we showed that while the publication of studies about supporting ecosystem services have accelerated over the last 30 years ...

Miscellaneous new species in the Brazilian Bromeliaceae [PDF]
Rodriguésia, 2010 From 1990 to 2006, 2,875 new angiosperm species were described in Brazil, including 280 newBromeliaceae species. This publication rate is considered to be a useful indicator of floristic richness andalso reveals the huge gaps in our knowledge of species ...
