Stipules in angiosperms
(2022-08)Stipules are generally regarded as the outgrowths of the leaf-base in angiosperms. From previous literature, the stipule is not only an important trait for plant taxonomy and identification, but there is great progress in ... -
Performance of hemiparasitic Euphrasia under different growth conditions
(2022-08)Introduction: The growth of parasitic plants is affected by many factors, including host, various environmental factors, etc. Here, we use two species from the recently radiated hemiparasitic Euphrasia to study the effects ... -
Species diversity patterns in the large genus Solanum L. (Solanaceae)
(2022-08-19)Species diversity is one of the most important indicator in ecological research and conversational biology. Factors that correlates with species diversity and the mechanism how environmental factors affect species richness ... -
An investigation of the effects of climate change on the Serbian Spruce (Picea omorika) and potential for future conservation actions
(2022-08-26)Approximately 34 % of conifer species are threatened with extinction. One such species is Picea omorika, a rare IUCN red-listed conifer endemic to the central Balkans. Little is known about the degree to which this species ... -
Clarifying the genetic relationships of recently diverged Antirrhinum taxa in Southeast Spain
(2022-08)The global change poses a significant threat to plant biodiversity worldwide. Well-resolved taxonomic delimitations reflecting genetic entities are essential in effective genetic conservation. In this study we assess the ... -
Microclimatic refugia and the protection of plant diversity
(2022-08)The aim of this thesis is to adjust the current configuration of predictive bioclimatic modelling through downscaling of heat load and topographic wetness indices to develop a fine-resolution bioclimatic modelling approach ... -
Mapping Cyrtandra hotspots in Borneo
(2022-08-26)Borneo, the third hottest global biodiversity hotspot (Myers et al., 2000) is also resolved as the ancestral area for the mega diverse genus Cyrtandra (Gesneriaceae) (Atkins et al., 2020).With Bornean forests facing ... -
Stamen diversity in the large genus Solanum L.: What's all the buzz about?
(2022-08-19)Solanum L. is one of the ten most species-rich genera of flowering plants. The genus is defined by poricidally dehiscent anthers that are buzz-pollinated. Much variation exists in stamens across Solanum, however. This study ... -
Trees within trees: do different loci tell different evolutionary histories of a tropical tree genus?
(2022-08)Ceiba is neotropical species divided two principal biomes, rain forests and seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs). The main goal to investigate the discordance of individual gene trees and the nonmonophyly of taxonomic ... -
Taxonomic revision of the Leguminosae genus Ctenodon in the Marañón Valley
(2022-08)Plant biodiversity is the fundamental base of all land ecosystem and is dangerously threatened now. Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) are the most vulnerable forest ecosystem in the world with unique and highly endemic ... -
Species diversity patterns in the large genus Begonia
(2022-08)Biodiversity hotspots in the world are unevenly distributed. Understanding species distribution can shed light on divers of tropical biodiversity, and help make conservation policy. Begonia is one of the most diverse ...
