High molecular diversity in rare European Sorbus domestica
Unexpectedly high levels of molecular diversity are found within populations of Sorbus domestica, irrespective of their location.
Pollen dispersal and breeding structure in Petunia
Results show that most pollen dispersal in subsp. axillaris occurs within populations and there is a high proportion of inbreeding.
Defoliation, tree growth and storage of C and N
Although lenga beech trees, completely defoliated by caterpillars of Ormiscodes amphimone, do not die, they show reduced growth for at least 2 years.
Chilling tolerance of C4 photosynthesis in Miscanthus
A study finds relatives of Miscanthus ×giganteus with significantly superior capacity for photosynthesis at chilling temperatures for the first time.
How tree species fill geographic and ecological space
Ricklefs analyses local assemblages of deciduous trees and finds that the forests in question do not appear to be saturated with species.
Phylogeny and evolution of Cyperus esculentus
Results suggest that tiger nut probably originated in the late Cenozoic in Africa and reached the Americas repeatedly, independently of Columbian exchanges.
Pollinators and maintaining variation in flower colour
This study uses dual choice assays and experimental arrays of blue and white flowers to determine pollinators’ preference for flower colour in Aquilegia.
Stomata and atmospheric CO2 in bryophytes
This study strengthens the hypothesis of incremental rather than early acquisition of stomatal regulatory processes through land plant evolution.
