Most tropical trees are adapted for biotic pollination, yet we still know little about plant–pollinator interactions in African rainforests. We addressed this gap from a community perspective, identifying what floral traits – colour, scent, reward accessibility and visibility – structure visitation ...
2010); however, this study detected this effect within a large number of fall-flowering species rather than in, for example, trends of leaf senescence of deciduous trees (Gill et al. 2015). Von Holle et al. (2010) also found delays in flowering times of 70 plant species in Florida, ...
rps11 transfers imply the existence of the transferred gene in an intermediate, unidentified vectoring agent or host plant for millions of years, but these discrepancies could easily be due to imprecision in the gene trees (Fig. 2) and/or in molecular-clock-based estimates21 of divergence times...
Similarly, in plants the obligate bacterial pathogen of citrus trees encodes a gene that was horizontally transferred; its product mimics a host protein that has been shown to limit the host’s defense response [36]. Our demonstration of HGT and VGT host codon usage convergence in Rafflesia ...

Whereas plastome data have generally been considered to represent uniparental phylogenetic history [86, 87], more complex plastome evolution has been found in Fabaceae [86]. Previous em- pirical and simulated analyses have suggested that reli- able inference of species trees requires the use of ...
Maximum likelihood (ML) and ASTRAL trees of 428 families (i.e., with five heterotrophic families removed) included in the subdataset generally showed consistent relationships with strong support, only slightly different at some nodes with weak or moderate support (Additional file10: Fig. S9). Und...

At present, about 1200 observers participate in this network, most of them on a voluntary basis. Approximately 160 phenological phases of wild plants, agricultural crops, fruit trees and bushes, and grapevines are observed and archived in the phenological database of the DWD (http://www.dwd.de...
Trees have evolved to lose their leaves and go dormant during the winter. Then, once the trees have experienced sufficient chilling temperatures, they are released from dormancy and start growing and flowering in response to warm temperatures [2]. Increasingly warmer winters, as well as weather ...
