ABSTRACT Accurate knowledge of phylogenetic relationships and divergence time among plant species composing a regional flora is crucial for understanding the origin of the biodiversity patterns we observe today. Despite advances in phylogenomics, resources available for reconstructing regional phylogenies are still largely incomplete and poorly ...

Notes on the Pollen Morphology and Phylogeny Restionales and Poales [PDF]
Abstract Acetolysed pollen of the Restionaceae Centrolepidaceae and allied families were studied by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, with special reference to the structure of the aperture and interapertural walls.

Distinctive gene expression in the reduced first thoracic legs of a nymphalid butterfly
Transcriptome analysis reveals that the small non‐walking front legs of a butterfly have distinct gene expression to the four walking legs. Reduced front legs express a gene with putative mechanosensory roles, a blue‐sensitive opsin and two homeobox genes.

A trait‐based integration of competition and abiotic tolerance underlies plant success
Competitive effect and abiotic tolerance show positive associations with species' niche breadth and local dominance. Summary Understanding what determines species' ecological success is a central challenge in ecology. Competitive ability and abiotic tolerance are expected to be strong predictors of species success, yet theory predicts a trade‐off ...

A phylogenomic assessment of ancient polyploidy and genome evolution across the Poales [PDF]
Comparisons of flowering plant genomes reveal multiple rounds of ancient polyploidy characterized by large intragenomic syntenic blocks. Three such whole-genome duplication (WGD) events, designated as rho (ρ), sigma (σ), and tau (τ), have been identified in the genomes of cereal grasses.

The interaction between grass species and climatic season shapes the population dynamics of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus. This information highlights the potential of forage species to influence off‐host tick dynamics. Additionally, minimum temperature and minimum relative humidity were the most influential microclimatic predictors of ...

Aechmea Ruiz & Pavón from the northern portion of the Atlantic Forest
Herein we present a taxonomic synopsis of Aechmea species from Alagoas, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará states. The lack of a taxonomic key for identification of species, the high rate of endemism and the recent novelties published ...

We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.

This revision of the APG classification considers the extensive recent analyses of hundreds of nuclear and plastid genes for many angiosperm species. Although previous versions of the APG classification were largely based on uniparentally inherited markers (plastid DNA, largely maternally inherited), there has emerged since APG IV extensive evidence of
