Comparative Genomics Insights Into the Evolutionary Disparities Between Nitroplast‐Evolved Ecotype UCYN‐A2 and Its Closest Relative UCYN‐A1

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
This paper conducted comparative genomic analyses among seven UCYN‐A strains in genome content, gene structure, and key metabolic protein genes. In general, our results demonstrated considerable disparities between UCYN‐A1 and UCYN‐A2, providing insights into the evolution of UCYN‐A and nitroplast.

Evolutionary legacy of the “living fossil” genus Parrotia (Hamamelidaceae): genomic insights into species divergence and polygenic adaptation

The Plant Journal, Volume 123, Issue 2, July 2025.
Significance Statement Parrotia is a Tertiary relict “living fossil” tree genus with two extant species (P. subaequalis and P. persica) exhibiting a disjunct distribution between East Asia and West Asia. Despite their long evolutionary history, the genomic basis of adaptation and speciation in this “living fossil” tree genus remain largely unexplored ...

Diversification of the stem vascular system in a clade of recent radiation and multiple habit transitions: The Bunchosia clade (Malpighiaceae)

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Premise Within the Malpighiaceae, the Bunchosia clade is distinctive for its significant habit variation and abundance of different vascular variants. However, the processes underlying the diversification of the vascular system over time and the ontogenetic events involved remain unclear.

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critical review of the larval food plants of this subfamily based on published records in the literature, together with unpublished records, is presented.

Increasing variability in resource supply over time disrupts plant–pollinator interactions

Ecological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Insect–plant interactions are key determinants of plant and insect fitness, providing important ecosystem services around the world—including the Arctic region. Recently, it has been suggested that climate warming causes rifts between flower and pollinator phenology.

Morphological and molecular analyses consistently support the existence of two species under Hypochaeris achyrophorus (Asteraceae, Cichorieae)

TAXON, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 1473-1487, December 2024.
Abstract The species boundaries in Hypochaeris sect. Seriola (Asteraceae, Cichorieae) are difficult to establish due to the phenotypic similarity between taxa. The main objective of the present study was to characterize the phylogenetic position of the annual Hypochaeris achyrophorus using plastid and nuclear DNA markers, and to determine whether some ...

Repeated shifts out of tropical climates preceded by whole genome duplication

New Phytologist, Volume 244, Issue 6, Page 2561-2575, December 2024.
Summary While flowering plants have diversified in virtually every terrestrial clime, climate constrains the distribution of individual lineages. Overcoming climatic constraints may be associated with diverse evolutionary phenomena including whole genome duplication (WGD), gene‐tree conflict, and life‐history changes.

Sequencing complex plants on a budget: The development of Kalanchoë blossfeldiana as a C3, CAM comparative tool

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 1314-1328, November 2024.
Research efforts in plant biology have often been focused on sequenced and well‐studied ‘model’ organisms. Despite the advent of relatively inexpensive genome sequencing, most plant taxonomic groups are underrepresented, with few species that ‘represent’ the diversity of whole genera.

Use of eDNA and conventional sampling methods to survey rock pool (gnamma) biodiversity on granite inselbergs

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 8, August 2024.
Environmental DNA sampling coupled with high‐throughput sequencing is increasingly recognized as a useful method for assessing biodiversity with potential applications in terrestrial environments. Rock pools on granite inselbergs support diverse aquatic communities, yet the application of eDNA to document their biodiversity is lacking.

Plasticity for the win: Flexible transcriptional response to host plant switches in the comma butterfly (Polygonia c‐album)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 16, August 2024.
Abstract Generalist plant‐feeding insects are characterised by a broad host repertoire that can comprise several families or even different orders of plants. The genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying the use of such a wide host range are still not fully understood.
