A trait‐based approach to determining principles of plant biogeography
T Vasconcelos - American Journal of Botany, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Lineage‐specific traits determine how plants interact with their surrounding environment.
Unrelated species may evolve similar phenotypic characteristics to tolerate, persist in, and …

Pollination syndromes and the origins of floral traits
LCS Assis - Annals of Botany, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Background A general view in the study of pollination syndromes is that floral traits usually
represent convergent floral adaptations to specific functional pollinator groups. However, the …

Comparative phylogenomics and phylotranscriptomics provide insights into the genetic complexity of nitrogen-fixing root-nodule symbiosis
Plant root-nodule symbiosis (RNS) with mutualistic nitrogen-fixing bacteria is restricted to a
single clade of angiosperms, the Nitrogen-Fixing Nodulation Clade (NFNC), and is best …

Multiple origins of lipid‐based structural colors contribute to a gradient of fruit colors in Viburnum (Adoxaceae)
Structural color is poorly known in plants relative to animals. In fruits, only a handful of cases
have been described, including in Viburnum tinus where the blue color results from a …

A host driven parasitoid syndrome: Convergent evolution of multiple traits associated with woodboring hosts in Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonoidea)
D Dal Pos, BJ Sharanowski - Plos one, 2024 - journals.plos.org
The evolution of convergent phenotypes is of major interest in biology because of their
omnipresence and ability to inform the study of evolutionary novelty and constraint …

Effects of individual traits vs. trait syndromes on assemblages of various herbivore guilds associated with central European Salix
Plants employ diverse anti-herbivore defences that can covary to form syndromes consisting
of multiple traits. Such syndromes are hypothesized to impact herbivores more than …

Characterizing each step of pollination in Phlox drummondii reveals that a single butterfly species predominates in the pollinator assemblage
GA Burgin, O Bronzo‐Munich… - American Journal of …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Premise A central goal of pollination biology is to connect plants with the identity of their
pollinator (s). While predictions based on floral syndrome traits are extremely useful, direct …

[PDF][PDF] Mutualisms evolve in correlation across the plant tree of life
MA Sinnott-Armstrong - New Phytologist, 2024 - pure.mpg.de
Mutualistic interactions occur throughout the plant body, from mycorrhizal symbioses in the
roots (Tedersoo et al., 2020) to mutualistic interactions with defending insects (Weber & …

Is Population Genetics Really Relevant to Evolutionary Biology?
ME Olson - Evolutionary Biology, 2024 - Springer
The goal of evolutionary biology is to explain the diversity of the entire sweep of the natural
world; population biology only examines tiny slices of time of a few individuals of single …
