Analysis of Pollen Morphology to Predict Pollination Syndrome In Artocarpus (Moraceae)
(2015)
Here we examine the morphology of pollen to determine its utility in predicting pollination mode. We used light microscopy and SEM to describe and quantify pollen from 16 species representing all major dades of Artocarpus.
An expanded species-level phylogeny for Viburnum (Adoxaceae) and its evolutionary implication
(2015)
Our goal is to reconstruct a species level phylogeny to support studies of character evolution, diversification, and historical biogeography. Here we add 12 species new to the study of Viburnum phylogeny1,2 for a total of ...
A study of floral evolution in Lonicera (Caprifoliaceae) while looking through an interactive lens
(2022)
Lonicera is a clade of honeysuckles in the Caprifoliaceae family comprising ~150 species and is typically pollinated by bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, and hawkmoths. Lonicera is characterized by tubular flowers, often ...
Comparing patterns of herbivory across native and invasive regions of four species of Lonicera (Caprifoliaceae) using herbarium specimens
(2022)
Honeysuckles, Lonicera, have long been planted as garden ornamentals, well known for their fragrance and showy flowers. Globally, 23 species of Lonicera are considered invasive and pose a threat to native biodiversity in ...
Evolution of Endocarp Morphology and Implications for Seed Dispersal in Viburnum (Adoxaceae)
(2015)
Viburnum comprises ~165 shrubs and small trees with fleshy fruits typically dispersed by birds. Viburnum fruits are drupes, which are fleshy, indehiscent, and contain a single seed with a tiny embryo. The endocarp (hard ...
