Evolution of a hotspot genus: geographic variation in speciation and extinction rates in Banksia (Proteaceae)

, 2016
BACKGROUND Hotspots of angiosperm species richness and endemism in Mediterranean-climate regions are among the most striking, but least well-understood, geographic patterns of biodiversity.

Contrasting phosphorus‐impoverished habitats influence the species‐dependent phosphorus‐acquisition strategies of plants

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3790-3808, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant species in phosphorus (P)‐impoverished habitats express diverse P‐acquisition strategies. However, the effect of soil P concentration ([P]) on the expression of specific P‐acquisition strategies and whether these strategies have converged within families remains ...

Interaction between floral rewards and floral symmetry shapes diversification dynamics in Amazonian trees

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 3297-3311, December 2025.
Summary Floral zygomorphy, or monosymmetry, is thought to have a positive effect on the diversification rates of angiosperms, but its true impact is still an open topic. Given the controversy surrounding this matter, our study evaluates whether rewards such as nectar and pollen produced by floral structures evolve in correlation with floral symmetry ...

Sensitivity of seedling growth to phosphorus supply in six tree species of the Australian Great Western Woodlands [PDF]

, 2019
Many Australian native plants from regions with ancient, highly weathered soils have specialised adaptations for acquiring phosphorus (P) and can exhibit negative effects of excess P supply on growth and survival.

Leaf phosphorus resorption is related to leaf lifespan and labile phosphorus allocation among species in a nutrient‐poor sclerophyll woodland

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 3351-3364, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Internal nutrient recycling, such as leaf nutrient resorption, serves as an important strategy for plants to optimise their growth and survival on nutrient‐poor soils.

Fire-adapted Gondwanan Angiosperm floras evolved in the Cretaceous

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background Fires have been widespread over the last 250 million years, peaking 60−125 million years ago (Ma), and might therefore have played a key role in the evolution of Angiosperms.
