Chromosomal changes more important than niche differentiation in a Pulmonaria hybrid
The locally abundant hybrid species is well-defined, but shows weak niche differentiation from its progenitors.
Pollinators drive floral evolution in an Atlantic Forest genus
Can we use floral traits to accurately predict hummingbird and bat pollinators of the bromeliad genus Vriesea?
Sweetcorn a better target than other maizes for Zinc biofortification
Earlier consumption and less processing makes sweetcorn a better source of dietary zinc.
Where do all the Epipactis orchids come from?
Botanists use the orchid genus Epipactis as a model for speciation, but unravelling its family tree has been difficult.
A change in pollinator alone does not explain speciation
Thirty clues to the exceptional diversification of flowering plants
Polyploidy and interspecific hybridization shape adaptation, speciation and evolution
Intrinsic post-zygotic barriers play a key role in maintaining species boundaries in Eucalyptus
Genomic architecture of phenotypic divergence between two hybridizing plant species along an elevational gradient
Mycorrhizal associations in recently diverged Epipactis species
The significance of developmental robustness for species diversity
Ecological differentiation of Senecio by ploidy is stronger in areas of sympatry
Characterizing ecological niches via Landolt indicator values of accompanying species, Sonnleitner et al. found that niches of four groups (two diploids, one tetraploid, one hexaploid) of Senecio carniolicus s.l. (Asteraceae) differed with respect to temperature, light and soil properties, but not in their breadths.
