Wood Anatomy of Crossosomatales: Patterns of Wood Evolution with Relation to Phylogeny and Ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The seven families hypothesized by Sosa and Chase to comprise Crossosomatales possess relatively long vessel elements with scalariform perforation plates and scalariform to opposite vessel-ray pitting; tracheids; diffuse axial parenchyma; and ...

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

open access: yesAustral 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)

open access: yesMolecular 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.

Variation of terpene alkaloids in Daphniphyllum macropodum across plants and tissues

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 243, Issue 1, Page 299-313, July 2024.
Summary Daphniphyllum macropodum produces alkaloids that are structurally complex with polycyclic, stereochemically rich carbon skeletons. Understanding how these compounds are formed by the plant may enable exploration of their biological function and bioactivities.

Heterogeneity in global vegetation and terrestrial climate change during the late Eocene to early Oligocene transition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Rapid global cooling at the Eocene – Oligocene Transition (EOT), ~33.9–33.5 Ma, is widely considered to mark the onset of the modern icehouse world. A large and rapid drop in atmospheric pCO2 has been proposed as the driving force behind extinctions in ...

Project ChemicalBlooms: Collaborating with citizen scientists to survey the chemical diversity and phylogenetic distribution of plant epicuticular wax blooms

open access: yesPlant Direct, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2024.
Abstract Plants use chemistry to overcome diverse challenges. A particularly striking chemical trait that some plants possess is the ability to synthesize massive amounts of epicuticular wax that accumulates on the plant's surfaces as a white coating visible to the naked eye.

WARACS: Wrappers to Automate the Reconstruction of Ancestral Character States [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Premise of the study: Reconstructions of ancestral character states are among the most widely used analyses for evaluating the morphological, cytological, or ecological evolution of an organismic lineage.
