A new way of dissemination in Anagallis arvensis L. (Primulaceae)
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011 Anagallis arvensis L. fruits are globose pyxides. They contain a unique globose columella with 20-30 seeds on its surface. In ripe, open fruits the ball-shaped columella detaches easily and becomes a unique diaspore, which can roll on the ground.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Primula sikkimensis persisted in distinct glacial refugia within the Hengduan Mountains and eastern Himalayas during the Last Glacial Maximum. Subsequent postglacial range expansions onto the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau were accompanied by secondary contact and interspecific hybridization, collectively enhancing genetic diversity and adaptive capacity. These

INDEPENDENT ORIGINATION OF FLORAL ZYGOMORPHY, A PREDICTED ADAPTIVE RESPONSE TO POLLINATORS: DEVELOPMENTAL AND GENETIC MECHANISMS [PDF]
, 2016 Observations of floral development indicate that floral organ initiation in pentapetalous flowers more commonly results in a medially positioned abaxial petal (MAB) than in a medially positioned adaxial petal (MAD), where the medial plane is defined by ...

Temperature and the evolution of flower color: A review
American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Flower colors brighten our natural world. How and why have they evolved? How might ongoing global warming alter their evolutionary trajectories? In this review, I examine the influence of ambient temperature on the evolution of flower color.
