Update on the systematics of Benstonea (Pandanaceae): When a visionary taxonomist foresees phylogenetic relationships.
The paleotropical monocot Pandanaceae family comprises c. 700 species distributed into five genera: Benstonea (c. 60 spp.), Freycinetia (c. 250 spp.), Martellidendron (6 spp.), Pandanus (c. 450 spp.) and Sararanga (2 spp.). Benstonea was circumscribed to include species previously placed in Pandanus section Acrostigma (one of the four sections of...Callmander, Martin W. ; Booth, Thomas J. ; Beentje, Henk ; Buerki, Sven

Neotypification of Pandanus odorifer, the correct name for P. odoratissimus (Pandanaceae)
Pandanus odorifer (Pandanaceae) is an economically important species distributed on coasts from India and Sri Lanka to South China through tropical Asian countries. Pandanus odoratissimus has been widely used as the accepted name for the species, but P. odoratissimus is in reality a superfluous and illegitimate name. No original material... -

The ghost fruits of Madagascar: Identifying dysfunctional seed dispersal in Madagascar's endemic flora
Madagascar lost a large number of large-bodied animal species during the Holocene. Many of them played important roles as seed dispersers. In the case of the largest-seeded species, giant lemurs or elephant birds may have been the sole dispersers because no extant frugivore has a gape size large enough to...Albert-Daviaud, Aurélie ; Buerki, Sven ; Onjalalaina, Guy E. ; Perillo, Sarah ; Rabarijaona, Romer …

New Guinea has the world’s richest island flora
New Guinea is the world’s largest tropical island and has fascinated naturalists for centuries. Home to some of the best-preserved ecosystems on the planet3 and to intact ecological gradients—from mangroves to tropical alpine grasslands—that are unmatched in the Asia-Pacific region4,5, it is a globally recognized centre of biological and cultural... -

A haploid pseudo-chromosome genome assembly for a keystone sagebrush species of western North American rangelands.
Increased ecological disturbances, species invasions, and climate change are creating severe conservation problems for several plant species that are widespread and foundational. Understanding the genetic diversity of these species and how it relates to adaptation to these stressors are necessary for guiding conservation and restoration efforts. This need is particularly...Melton, Anthony E ; Child, Andrew W ; Beard, Richard S ; Dumaguit, Carlos Dave C ; Forbey, Jennifer S …
