The evolutionary trajectories of insects and angiosperms appear to be intimately
interconnected. Increases in the diversity of phytophagous beetles and angiosperms co …

Senegalia was recently described as non-monophyletic; however, its sections exhibit robust
monophyletic support, suggesting a potential reclassification into separate genera …

Buzz-pollinated pollen flowers have pollen as the primary resource for pollinators and must
deal with a conflict between the exploitation of pollen grains by bees and pollination …

Sympetaly is a notable feature within the mimosoid clade (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae),
specially as it is uncommon in rosids. The way the petals are organized, forming a tubular …

Flowers of Anacardiaceae and other Sapindales typically produce nectar, but scent, often
associated with a reward for pollinators, has surprisingly been mentioned only rarely for …

We evaluated the floral development of Hymenaea verrucosa, the only African species of the

The division of labour hypothesis between stamens has explained the evolution of divergent
functions between dimorphic stamens in the same flower. However, little is known about …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Pentaclethra and Dimorphandra (Leguminosae) have long been
considered a possible enigmatic link between caesalpinioids and mimosoids because they …

Camoensia scandens is a papilionoid legume inserted in the core genistoid clade. It has
large, crepuscular, scented flowers but the corolla is non-papilionaceous, which deviates …

Although in Moraceae the presence of laticifers is considered to be a synapomorphy, little is
