Impacts of climatic niche breadth, phylogeny, traits and ploidy on geographical ranges of Betula species

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Geographical range size is a fundamental ecological characteristic of a species. We quantified the effects of phylogeny, climatic niche breadth, morphological traits and ploidy on range size variation of Betula species. Climatic niche breadth has the strongest effect on the range size variation of Betula species.

Museomics Sheds Light on Evolutionary Diversity in a Critically Endangered Cockatoo Species From Wallacea

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate identification of evolutionarily significant units of rare and threatened organisms provides a foundation for effective management and conservation. Up to seven subspecies of the critically endangered Yellow‐crested Cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea) have been described, four of which were commonly recognised pre‐2014.

An upgraded key for identifying all native species, subspecies and varieties of the genus Carex (Cyperaceae) in Europe and the Caucasus

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The last pan‐European key to Carex taxa was published in 1980 by Chater. Since that time several new species have been described, and numerous nomenclatural changes, including the recognition that the former genus Kobresia should be incorporated into Carex as C. subg. Euthyceras, have been made. This article provides a comprehensive key to identify all

Pollen morphology, deep learning, phylogenetics, and the evolution of environmental adaptations in Podocarpus

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Podocarpus pollen morphology is shaped by both phylogenetic history and the environment. We analyzed the relationship between pollen traits quantified using deep learning and environmental factors within a comparative phylogenetic framework.

Diverging repeatomes in holoparasitic Hydnoraceae uncover a playground of genome evolution

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The transition from an autotrophic to a heterotrophic lifestyle is associated with numerous genomic changes. These often involve large genomic alterations, potentially driven by repetitive DNAs. Despite their recognized role in shaping plant genomes, the contribution of repetitive DNAs to parasitic plant genome evolution remains largely ...

Multimodal floral cues resembling both generalized food sources and oviposition sites in Isotrema manshuriense (Aristolochiaceae) pollinated by flies

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The protogynous flowers of Isotrema manshuriense exhibit multimodal cues, resembling both generalized food sources and fly oviposition sites, with these cues varying across sexual phases. Abstract The genus Aristolochia is renowned for its kettle‐like trap flowers that temporarily retain visiting insects, primarily using trapping trichomes.
