Teshera-Levye, J., B. Miles, V. Terwilliger, C. E. Lovelock, and J. Cavender-Bares. 2019. Drivers of habitat partitioning among three Quercus species along a hydrologic gradient J. Martinez-Vilalta [ed.],. Tree Physiology 40: 142–157. https://doi.org/10.1093/treephys/tpz112
A critical process that allows multiple, similar species to coexist in an ecological community is their ability to partition local habitat gradients. The mechanisms that underlie this separation at local scales may include niche differences associated with their biogeographic history, differences in…
Kass, J. M., R. P. Anderson, A. Espinosa‐Lucas, V. Juárez‐Jaimes, E. Martínez‐Salas, F. Botello, G. Tavera, et al. 2019. Biotic predictors with phenological information improve range estimates for migrating monarch butterflies in Mexico. Ecography 43: 341–352. https://doi.org/10.1111/ecog.04886
Although long‐standing theory suggests that biotic variables are only relevant at local scales for explaining the patterns of species’ distributions, recent studies have demonstrated improvements to species distribution models (SDMs) by incorporating predictor variables informed by biotic interactio…
Stull, G. W., B. H. Tiffney, S. R. Manchester, C. D. Rio, and S. L. Wing. 2020. Endocarps of Pyrenacantha (Icacinaceae) from the Early Oligocene of Egypt. International Journal of Plant Sciences 181: 432–442. https://doi.org/10.1086/706854
The fossil record of Pyrenacantha (Phytocreneae tribe, Icacinaceae) includes well-documented species from the Paleogene of North and South America but, to date, no fossils have been described from its present geographic range, the Old World tropics. We document endocarp remains from the early Oligoc…

In addition to their potential against deforestation and climate change, agroforestry systems may have a relevant role in biodiversity conservation. In this sense, not only species richness per se, but also community composition, including the distribution range of the species, should be considered.…

In this work we have retrieved and analysed data for 2319 occurrences of rust fungi from 246 Pucciniales taxa in Portugal based on 115 publications and our own surveys, totalizing 683 rust taxon-host taxon unique combinations. This list was updated according to current taxonomic framework and georef…
Han, T., Q. Zheng, R. E. Onstein, B. M. Rojas‐Andrés, F. Hauenschild, A. N. Muellner‐Riehl, and Y. Xing. 2019. Polyploidy promotes species diversification of Allium through ecological shifts. New Phytologist 225: 571–583. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.16098
Despite the role of polyploidy in multiple evolutionary processes, its impact on plant diversification remains controversial. An increased polyploid frequency may facilitate speciation through shifts in ecology, morphology, or both. Here we used Allium to evaluate (1) the relationship between intras…
LU, M., L. CHEN, J. WANG, R. LIU, Y. YANG, M. WEI, and G. DONG. 2019. A brief history of wheat utilization in China. Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering 6: 288. https://doi.org/10.15302/j-fase-2019266
Wheat is one of the most important crops in both China and the world, and its domestication can be traced back to ~10000 years ago. However, the history of its origin and utilization in China remains highly ambiguous. Drawing upon the most recent results of taxonomic, genetic, archeological and text…
de Albuquerque, F. S., M. Á. Macías-Rodríguez, A. Búrquez, and Y. Astudillo-Scalia. 2019. Climate change and the potential expansion of buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L., Poaceae) in biotic communities of Southwest United States and northern Mexico. Biological Invasions 21: 3335–3347. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10530-019-02050-5
In the last decades, more than six hundred exotic species have become established throughout the region of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, including the African buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.). Buffelgrass often causes negative impacts on natural ecosystems and it is consi…

The continental and marine territories of Uruguay are characterised by a rich convergence of multiple biogeographic ecoregions of the Neotropics, making this country a peculiar biodiversity spot. However, despite the biological significance of Uruguay for the South American subcontinent, the distrib…

Aim: Frost is among the most dramatic stresses a plant can experience, and complex physiological adaptations are needed to endure long periods of sub‐zero temperatures. Owing to the need to evolve these complex adaptations, transitioning from tropical to temperate climates is regarded as difficult. …
