Sex and flowers: testing the resource-dependent selection hypothesis for flower sex allocation [PDF]
, 2022 Context: Monoecious plants can adjust their proportional investment in male and female flowers to maximise reproductive fitness. The female reproductive function (seeds) often has greater resource costs than the male (pollen). Larger plants are generally

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.Abstract Kirganelia (Phyllanthaceae) is a palaeotropical genus recently reinstated as separate from Phyllanthus, yet species boundaries remain unclear, especially within the widespread and morphologically variable K. reticulata complex. To resolve this, we generated Angiosperms353‐based phylogenomic data from 233 samples and applied an integrative ...

Ewangoa, a new threatened Central African genus of Euphorbiaceae‐Acalyphoideae
TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract A new morphologically divergent genus and species of Euphorbiaceae from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ewangoa cardiophora, is described and illustrated. This taxon is easily recognised by its leaf‐opposed inflorescences, which are surrounded by a single cordiform involucral bract. Molecular phylogenetic evidence shows that Ewangoa is a

International Biological Flora: Loranthus europaeus*
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.Loranthus europaeus is a deciduous hemiparasitic species native to Europe and western Asia, primarily parasitizing oaks. It forms xylem connections via haustoria, extracting water and nutrients while exhibiting high transpiration and low water‐use efficiency.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 284-294, April 2026.We determined the trophic associations among fig wasp species associated with Ficus citrifolia by integrating gall morphology, the temporal sequence of wasp colonization, and oviposition behaviour. Dissection of galls produced by four gall‐inducing species at a late developmental phase enabled direct identification of occupants and inference of host ...
