How does mixed mating persist, when self-pollination ensures a plant won’t reproduce?
Being a seed from self-pollination guarantees failure in Eucalyptus regnans. Yet despite this, new research shows a mixed-mating system. including selfing, is evolutionarily stable.

Climate affects hydraulic and stomatal traits
Hydraulic traits influence the ability of plant species to grow and survive in water-limited environments. Bourne et al. compare hydraulic, anatomical, stomatal and leaf tissue water relations traits in six Eucalyptus...

Money doesn’t grow on trees… (2) [Or, From cuddly koalas to bird poo…]
Could the koala's diet of eucalyptus result in gold?
Reproductive barriers to interspecific Corymbia hybridization
Corymbia species have a high propensity to form interspecific hybrids. Dickinson et al. investigate the locations and activity of reproductive isolating barriers between species, and identify pre-zygotic barriers as the...
