Abstract: Abstract Aim Habitat reduction in fragmented landscapes provides an opportunity to study the biogeographic patterns that drive changes in diversity in poorly studied metacommunities. In this study, colonization–extinction dynamics were indirectly evaluated through the analysis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pbi.2020.101982
Abstract: Climbing plants have voluble organs, for example, tendrils and modified stems, which twine up neighboring plants to reach the canopy. These organs perform exaggerated circumnutation, during which they grow towards the shaded areas of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jxb/erac205
Abstract: Microspines are found on the stems of plants with different climbing strategies, particularly those that twine loosely and show a scrambling growth on irregular supports and in highly unstructured habitats. read more here.
