Talhinhas, P. 2019. An annotated checklist of rust fungi (Pucciniales) occurring in Portugal. Sydowia An International Journal of Mycology 71: 65–84. https://doi.org/10.12905/0380.sydowia71-2019-0065
In this work we have retrieved and analysed data for 2319 occurrences of rust fungi from 246 Pucciniales taxa in Portugal based on 115 publications and our own surveys, totalizing 683 rust taxon-host taxon unique combinations. This list was updated according to current taxonomic framework and georef…
Han, T., Q. Zheng, R. E. Onstein, B. M. Rojas‐Andrés, F. Hauenschild, A. N. Muellner‐Riehl, and Y. Xing. 2019. Polyploidy promotes species diversification of Allium through ecological shifts. New Phytologist 225: 571–583. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.16098
Despite the role of polyploidy in multiple evolutionary processes, its impact on plant diversification remains controversial. An increased polyploid frequency may facilitate speciation through shifts in ecology, morphology, or both. Here we used Allium to evaluate (1) the relationship between intras…
LU, M., L. CHEN, J. WANG, R. LIU, Y. YANG, M. WEI, and G. DONG. 2019. A brief history of wheat utilization in China. Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering 6: 288. https://doi.org/10.15302/j-fase-2019266
Wheat is one of the most important crops in both China and the world, and its domestication can be traced back to ~10000 years ago. However, the history of its origin and utilization in China remains highly ambiguous. Drawing upon the most recent results of taxonomic, genetic, archeological and text…
de Albuquerque, F. S., M. Á. Macías-Rodríguez, A. Búrquez, and Y. Astudillo-Scalia. 2019. Climate change and the potential expansion of buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L., Poaceae) in biotic communities of Southwest United States and northern Mexico. Biological Invasions 21: 3335–3347. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10530-019-02050-5
In the last decades, more than six hundred exotic species have become established throughout the region of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, including the African buffelgrass (Cenchrus ciliaris L.). Buffelgrass often causes negative impacts on natural ecosystems and it is consi…
Grattarola, F., G. Botto, I. da Rosa, N. Gobel, E. González, J. González, D. Hernández, et al. 2019. Biodiversidata: An Open-Access Biodiversity Database for Uruguay. Biodiversity Data Journal 7. https://doi.org/10.3897/bdj.7.e36226
The continental and marine territories of Uruguay are characterised by a rich convergence of multiple biogeographic ecoregions of the Neotropics, making this country a peculiar biodiversity spot. However, despite the biological significance of Uruguay for the South American subcontinent, the distrib…
Schubert, M., T. Marcussen, A. S. Meseguer, and S. Fjellheim. 2019. The grass subfamily Pooideae: Cretaceous–Palaeocene origin and climate‐driven Cenozoic diversification G. Jordan [ed.],. Global Ecology and Biogeography. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.12923
Aim: Frost is among the most dramatic stresses a plant can experience, and complex physiological adaptations are needed to endure long periods of sub‐zero temperatures. Owing to the need to evolve these complex adaptations, transitioning from tropical to temperate climates is regarded as difficult. …
Monroe, J. G., B. Gill, K. G. Turner, and J. K. McKay. 2019. Drought regimens predict life history strategies in Heliophila. New Phytologist 223: 2054–2062. https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.15919
Explaining variation in life history strategies is an enduring goal of evolutionary biology and ecology. Early theory predicted that for plants, annual and perennial life histories reflect adaptation to environments that experience alternative drought regimens. Nevertheless, empirical support for th…
Folk, R. A., R. L. Stubbs, M. E. Mort, N. Cellinese, J. M. Allen, P. S. Soltis, D. E. Soltis, and R. P. Guralnick. 2019. Rates of niche and phenotype evolution lag behind diversification in a temperate radiation. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 116: 10874–10882. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1817999116
Environmental change can create opportunities for increased rates of lineage diversification, but continued species accumulation has been hypothesized to lead to slowdowns via competitive exclusion and niche partitioning. Such density-dependent models imply tight linkages between diversification and…
Ramos, R. S., L. Kumar, F. Shabani, and M. C. Picanço. 2019. Risk of spread of tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) in tomato crops under various climate change scenarios. Agricultural Systems 173: 524–535. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agsy.2019.03.020
Species distribution models (SDMs) are valuable for the information they provide to reduce the potential negative effects of climatic factors on agricultural production systems. Such information may be used to prevent the entry and spread of invasive species in new areas, as well as to monitor regio…
Wan, J.-Z., Z.-X. Zhang, and C.-J. Wang. 2019. Effects of ecoregional vulnerability on habitat suitability of invasive alien plants: an assessment using 13 species on a global scale. Environmental Earth Sciences 78. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12665-019-8186-3
The development of new hypotheses can promote the explanation of mechanisms on plant invasion across different scales. We tested the hypothesis that ecoregional vulnerability can affect habitat suitability of invasive alien plants (IAPs) in non-native ranges. We used 13 IAPs, distributed around the …
