Utility of DNA barcoding to identify rare endemic vascular plant species in Trinidad

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 18, Page 7311-7333, September 2017., 2017
DNA barcoding can be a useful tool to quickly and accurately identify species and has the potential to prompt the discovery of new species. In this study, the utility of DNA barcoding to confirm the identities of 14 endangered endemic vascular plant species in Trinidad, at least to the genus level, was assessed based on three approved barcodes (matK ...

[Retracted] Phytoliths as Emerging Taxonomic Tools for Identification of Plants: An Overview

open access: yesJournal of Botany, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
In the recent advancements in identification of plant species, phytoliths have found an immense role in the identification of plants at different levels of taxonomic hierarchy. Many plant groups are known to accumulate silica in solid form in and between the cells and tissues and hence create the structures commonly known as phytoliths.

Genome Size Dynamics and Evolution in Monocots

open access: yesJournal of Botany, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
Monocot genomic diversity includes striking variation at many levels. This paper compares various genomic characters (e.g., range of chromosome numbers and ploidy levels, occurrence of endopolyploidy, GC content, chromosome packaging and organization, genome size) between monocots and the remaining angiosperms to discern just how distinctive monocot ...

Systematic vegetative anatomy and ensiform leaf development in Xyris (Xyridaceae) [PDF]

open access: yesBotanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 1999
Ensiform leaf development in monocotyledons follows a broadly similar sequence in a wide range of relatively unrelated taxa, indicating a plastic developmental pattern, possibly associated with stressed environmental conditions, sinceXyrisspecies tend to grow in relatively damp but nutrient-poor environments. The bifacial leaf sheath surrounds the apex

Floral trait similarity at the community‐level increases reproductive success suggesting facilitation through pollinator sharing

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...

The Blue List Initiative: Guiding Biodiversity Restoration in Brazil's Espinhaço Range

open access: yesApplied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, April/June 2026.
The campo rupestre is a biodiversity hotspot marked by extreme habitat heterogeneity and high species turnover. Using phytosociological data, floristic clustering and zeta diversity, we show that habitats are floristically non‐interchangeable and propose habitat‐ and substrate‐specific Blue Lists to guide effective, locality‐based ecological ...

Beyond the Highlands: Climate Drives Evolutionary Connections Between Ancient Neotropical Mountains and Lowland Biomes

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The assembly of montane plant communities through time is underlain by historical and abiotic factors. However, the extent of evolutionary connectivity between ancient highland ecosystems and surrounding lowlands remains unclear. Here, we investigate the evolutionary connections between the campos rupestres, a hyperdiverse and fragmented ...
