Phylogenomics of Orchidaceae based on plastid and mitochondrial genomes
To advance our knowledge of orchid relationships and timing of their relative divergence, we used 76 protein-coding genes from plastomes (ptCDS) and 38 protein-coding genes from mitochondrial genomes (mtCDS) of 74 orchids representing the five subfamilies and 18 tribes of Orchidaceae, to reconstruct the phylogeny and temporal evolution of the...Li, Yun-Xia ; Li, Zhang-Hai ; Schuiteman, Andre ; Chase, Mark ; Li, Jian-Wu …

Gladiolus mariae (Iridaceae), a new species from fire-free shrubland in the Kounounkan Massif, Guinea
Gladiolus mariae Burgt (Iridaceae), a new species from Guinea, West Africa, is described and illustrated. The new species is placed in Gladiolus sect. Decorati Goldblatt and compared with the nine species already known from that section. Flowering plants stand 28–160 cm high with 1–6 bright orange flowers, opening one at...van de Burgt, Xander ; Konomou, Gbamon ; Haba, Pepe ; Magassouba, Sékou

Exploring At Second-Hand: Separating the Editor from the Traveller in Soeteboom’s Version of Van West-Zanen’s Sojourn in Mauritius in 1602
Willem van West-Zanen’s account of visiting Mauritius with Hans Schuurmans’s fleet of five ships on their return journey from Java to Amsterdam in 1602, is translated in full for the first time. Numerous Dodos were caught and eaten by the crews, as was much other wildlife.Cheke, Anthony ; Beentje, Henk

Conference paper (published)
Cryobiotechnology for the long-term preservation of oak (Quercus sp.) genetic resources.
Oaks (genus Quercus) are dominant and iconic trees in most European, American, Asian and North African forests, from cool temperate to tropical environments. There are at least 600 species of Quercus globally with high ecological and economical importance. However, 45% of the species evaluated by IUCN are considered threatened, being...Ballesteros, D. ; Nebot, A. ; Pritchard, H.

Conservation of the threatened species Pulsatilla vulgaris Mill. (pasqueflower) is aided by reproductive system and polyploidy
Population loss due to habitat disturbance is a major concern in biodiversity conservation. Here we investigate the genetic causes of the demographic decline observed in English populations of P ulsatilla vulgaris and the consequences for conservation. Using ten nuclear microsatellite markers, we compare genetic variation in wild populations with restored...
