What makes New Caledonian rainforests so different?
Rainforests in the Southwest Pacific can be highly diverse, even on a global scale, displaying higher species richness than African rainforests.
What are holocentric chromosomes good for?
Possessing holocentric chromosomes may confer an advantage in clastogenic conditions and environments.
Integrative approaches to understanding angiosperm origins and diversity
The rise of angiosperms should be studied as part of the global increase in biodiversity.
Fire-timing in relation to reproduction and mast-seeding cycles
In experimental studies, rainfall-stimulated Triodia pungens masting precipitated a large but transitory spike in soil seedbank size and burning populations 6 months after this event triggered mass recruitment.
Aridification as driver of plant evolution
Aridification has been a major force in cycad evolution, says José Said Gutiérrez-Ortega. It helps to explain why cycads were capable to adapt and diversify in the modern habitats, even when they originated in the early evolution of land plants.
Endosperm development and hybrid seed failure in wild tomatoes
The overall results suggest that near-complete hybrid seed failure can evolve fairly rapidly and without apparent divergence in reproductive phenology/biology.
