Testing key tenets of pyro-ecophysiology: Indicators of drought response in relation to shoot flammability. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Premise Relationships between flammability and drought tolerance influence vegetation dynamics during fires. A goal of the emerging subdiscipline of pyro‐ecophysiology is to identify ecophysiological traits that determine live fuel flammability, but empirical studies of these relationships are rare.

Phylogeny and divergence times of gymnosperms inferred from single-copy nuclear genes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Phylogenetic reconstruction is fundamental to study evolutionary biology and historical biogeography. However, there was not a molecular phylogeny of gymnosperms represented by extensive sampling at the genus level, and most published phylogenies of this

Diversity-Elevation Relationships of Vascular Plants in Austral Temperate Ecosystems Are Strata Dependent. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated diversity patterns of vascular plants of overstorey and understorey vegetation separately per stratum and the influence of anthropogenic disturbances along two elevational transects with contrasting slope aspects in a temperate rainforest and alpine scrub in southern Chile.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Podocarpus neriifolius (Podocarpaceae)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 The complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of Podocarpus neriifolius D. Don was determined by BGISEQ-500 platform sequencing in this study. The entire cp genome was determined to be 133,878 bp in length.

Environmental and climatic proxies for the Cañadón Asfalto and Neuquén basins (Patagonia, Argentina): review of middle to upper jurassic continental and near coastal sequences [PDF]
, 2015 In this review, we include several proxies (sedimentology, palynology, invertebrates) from the Cañadón Asfalto and Neuquén basins, to infer the environments and regional climatic context during the Middle to Late Jurassic of Patagonia.
