Seed dormancy concepts in orchids: Dendrobium cruentum as a model species.
Generally, orchids produce dust-like seeds in which endosperm reduction and embryo undifferentiation represent a derived state shared with species in about 11 other plant families. Orchid seeds are proposed to have a special kind of morphological or morphophysiological dormancy. We test this proposition, overcoming several design limitations of earlier studies,...Prasongsom, Sasikarn ; Thammasiri, Kanchit ; Pritchard, Hugh W.

The global spectrum of plant form and function: enhanced species-level trait dataset.
Here we provide the ‘Global Spectrum of Plant Form and Function Dataset’, containing species mean values for six vascular plant traits. Together, these traits –plant height, stem specific density, leaf area, leaf mass per area, leaf nitrogen content per dry mass, and diaspore (seed or spore) mass – define the... -

Diversification of Amazonian spiny tree rats in genus Makalata (Rodentia, Echimyidae): Cryptic diversity, geographic structure and drivers of speciation.
Amazonian mammal diversity is exceptionally high, yet new taxonomic discoveries continue to be made and many questions remain for understanding its diversification through time and space. Here we investigate the diversification of spiny rats in the genus , whose species are strongly associated with seasonally flooded forests, watercourses and flooded... -

Efecto de la pérdida de cobertura natural sobre la flora endémica del Área Tropical Importante para Plantas (TIPA) Concepción (Santa Cruz, Bolivia).
En el presente estudio se inventarió la riqueza de taxones endémicos que habitan en el Área Tropical Importante para Plantas (TIPA) Concepción, así como el efecto de la pérdida de la cobertura natural sobre estos atributos florísticos. El inventario fue realizado mediante fuentes de datos primarios (prospecciones de campo) y... -

Potential Distribution of Cedrela odorata L. in Mexico according to Its Optimal Thermal Range for Seed Germination under Different Climate Change Scenarios.
Cedrela odorata is a native tree of economic importance, as its wood is highly demanded in the international market. In this work, the current and future distributions of C. odorata in Mexico under climate change scenarios were analyzed according to their optimal temperature ranges for seed germination. For the present... -

Notes on Isoglossinae (Acanthaceae) in Madagascar, with four new species of Isoglossa.
Current generic delimitation in subtribe Isoglossinae of Acanthaceae is discussed using available morphological and molecular data. Particular consideration is given to the small genera endemic to Madagascar — Benoist, S.Moore, Benoist and the illegitimate Benoist — and how these relate to the current circumscription of Oerst. The relative merits and...Darbyshire, Iain ; Onjalalaina, Guy E. ; Callmander, Martin W. ; Phillipson, Peter B. ; Kiel, Carrie A.

Diversity patterns and conservation of the Vigna spp. in Mozambique: A comprehensive study.
Mozambique supports a high diversity of native legume species, including many Crop Wild Relatives (CWRs). Among them, the still understudied genus is a particularly notable and promising donor of favorable traits for crop improvement. This study aims to provide an updated overview of CWRs diversity in Mozambique, defining a conservation...
