Abstract: Some plant species have a kind of mixed pollination system—ambophily—which rely both on biotic and abiotic (most commonly wind) as pollen vectors. Ambophily remains poorly addressed in the pollination literature and may have been overlooked… read more here.

Abstract: Whether wind pollination in trees can offset the negative genetic consequences of anthropogenic forest fragmentation is not clearly established. To answer this question, we examined the demographic genetics of Quercus bambusifolia over a 70-year recovery… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2024.2940
Abstract: The earliest seed plants occurred in the Late Devonian (Famennian). However, why and how they rapidly diversified remain long-standing mysteries. We investigated the early evolution of seed plants based on a new ovule and evaluated… read more here.
