PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 644-653, May 2025.Novel phylogenetic approaches have emerged in recent years to study traditional medicinal plants, aiming to identify potential sources of new drugs. This line of research holds considerable promise yet remains in its early stages. Here, we examine the prevalent methods employed in the field, revealing the impact of methodological choices that have ...

Historical biogeography of Loranthaceae (Santalales): Diversification agrees with emergence of tropical forests and radiation of songbirds [PDF]
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2018 Coadaptation between mistletoes and birds captured the attention of Charles Darwin over 150 years ago, stimulating considerable scientific research. Here we used Loranthaceae, a speciose and ecologically important mistletoe family, to obtain new insights into the interrelationships among its hosts and dispersers.

Land‐use changes impact root–fungal network connectivity in a global biodiversity hotspot
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 5, Page 1136-1149, May 2025.Dimensioning the impacts of rainforest transformations below‐ground is constrained by our understanding of fungal functional guilds. Highly modified systems exhibited fewer connections, suggesting a dynamic restructuring of root–fungal relationships in response to land‐use changes.

Morphogenesis is highly aberrant in the vegetative body of the holoparasite Lophophytum leandrii (Balanophoraceae): All typical vegetative organs are absent and many tissues are highly modified [PDF]
, 2010 The vegetative body of Lophophytum leandrii is a ‘‘tuber’’ that completely lacks all vegetative organs typically found in photosynthetic plants. Tubers have a warty surface zone composed of parenchyma cells and brachysclereids; there is no epidermis. The

Review of larval food plant associations of the Agaristinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Australia
Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.Abstract The Australian Agaristinae comprises a small group of predominantly diurnal moths with aposematic larvae and adults that are assumed to be unpalatable to most predators. A critical review of the larval food plants of this subfamily based on published records in the literature, together with unpublished records, is presented.
