Paepalanthus rectifolius, a new name in Eriocaulaceae (Poales)
PhytoKeys, 2012 Syngonanthus weddellii var. gracilis Moldenke (1973) was described very briefly based on a single collection. A careful analysis reveals that this variety has dimerous flowers, free petals of the pistillate flower and bifid stigmatic branches.

Reproductive biology of Abolboda pulchella and A. poarchon (Xyridaceae: Poales) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2011 Abolboda (Xyridaceae) belongs to the Poales, a predominantly wind-pollinated order whose phylogeny has been widely studied in recent years. The reproductive biology of Abolboda pulchella and A. poarchon was studied to determine the main pollination system of these species, providing the first experimental data on reproduction in the Xyridaceae.A field ...

Quantifying the Dietary Overlap of Two Co-Occurring Mammal Species Using DNA Metabarcoding to Assess Potential Competition. [PDF]
Ecol EvolInterspecific competition among co‐occurring species with similar resource requirements can be assessed by measuring diet overlap. A study on common brushtail possums and bush rats used DNA metabarcoding of faecal samples to quantify their dietary overlap, finding a significant similarity.

Seedling Diversity and the Homologies of Seedling Organs in the Order Poales (Monocotyledons) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2007 Seedlings of monocots are much more diverse than those of other angiosperms, often with very derived character states. This makes morphological interpretation difficult. The morphology of seedlings of most of the 16 families of the Poales alliance are only incompletely known.

Ecdeiocolea rigens, a new species of Ecdeiocoleaceae (Poales) from Western Australia
Australian Journal of Botany, 2011 The Western Australian plant family Ecdeiocoleaceae includes only three species but DNA data show them as the closest living sister-group of the Poaceae. Ecdeiocoleaceae are wind-pollinated and monoecious; spikes produce separate zones of pistillate and staminate flowers, in acropetal succession.
