Evolutionary Consequences of Dioecy in Angiosperms: the Effects of Breeding System on Speciation and Extinction Rates

The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada http://www.library.ubc.ca/spcoll/thesauth.html ABSTRACT Dioecy, the breeding system with male and female function on separate individuals, may affect the ability of a lineage to avoid extinction or speciate. Dioecy is a rare breeding system among the angiosperms (approximately 6% of all flowering plants) while hermaphroditism (having male and female function present within each flower) is predominant. Dioecious angiosperms may be rare because the transitions to dioecy have been recent or because dioecious angiosperms experience decreased diversification rates (speciation minus extinction) compared to plants with other breeding systems. -

Obdiplostemony: the Occurrence of a Transitional Stage Linking Robust Flower Configurations

E-mail [email protected] Received: 17 July 2015 Returned for revision: 1 September 2015 Accepted: 23 December 2015 Published electronically: 24 March 2016 Background and Aims Obdiplostemony has long been a controversial condition as it diverges from diploste- mony found among most core eudicot orders by the more external insertion of the alternisepalous stamens. In this paper we review the definition and occurrence of obdiplostemony, and analyse how the condition has impacted on floral diversification and species evolution. Key Results Obdiplostemony represents an amalgamation of at least five different floral developmental pathways, all of them leading to the external positioning of the alternisepalous stamen whorl within a two-whorled androe- cium. In secondary obdiplostemony the antesepalous stamens arise before the alternisepalous stamens. The position of alternisepalous stamens at maturity is more external due to subtle shifts of stamens linked to a weakening of the alternisepalous sector including stamen and petal (type I), alternisepalous stamens arising de facto externally of antesepalous stamens (type II) or alternisepalous stamens shifting outside due to the sterilization of antesepalous sta- mens (type III: Sapotaceae). -

It is pan-tropical and subtropical, widely distributed in Africa, Latin America with 8 genera and about 280 species. About half the genera are restricted to Australasia. With this record, the known geographical distribution of B. herbacea has now extended in Chandrapur, Gondia, Nagpur and Sindudurg district. This species is an addition to the flora for these districts. Keywords: Byttneriaceae, Byttneria herbacea Roxb, Extending Distribution, Maharashtra INTRODUCTION The genus Byttneria of the Byttneriaceae family is of interest to botanists and herbalist alike. Byttneria, named after David Sigismund Augustus Byttner (1724-1768), a renowned botanist at the University of Gottingen. The genus Byttneria was first described by Hooker1and brought to light the information and a critical look in the Indian subcontinent. There are 9 species of Byttneria reported in Indian subcontinent.Byttneria herbacea occurring in Western Peninsula; not common in the Karnataka, Orissa and Konkan while Byttneria crenulata and B. -

ABSTRACT A study on some leaf anatomical characteristics was undertaken on two genera in Malvaceae s.l namely Byttneria L. and Pterocymbium R. Br. The objective was to determine the taxonomic value of leaf venation characteristics especially in identification and classification of species. In the study, five species were chosen, three Byttneria species, namely B. curtisii, B. jackiana, B. maingayi, and two Pterocymbium species, namely P. tinctorium and P. tubulatum. Byttneria and Pterocymbium have been split into two subfamilies, Byttneroideae and Sterculoideae, of Malvaceae s.l respectively. Leaf clearing, staining, mounting and observation under a light microscope were techniques used for the study. Results showed that the similarities and differences in leaf venation could be useful in classification and identification of species. The common characteristics found in all species studied were the presence of entire marginal venation and closed system venation with minimum free ending veinlets in the areolar venation. The variations in the leaf venation can be used to distinguish species, which are complete ultimate marginal venation in B. -

The Evolution of Mutualistic Defense Traits in Plants A
THE EVOLUTION OF MUTUALISTIC DEFENSE TRAITS IN PLANTS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Marjorie Gail Weber August 2014 © 2014 Marjorie Gail Weber THE EVOLUTION OF MUTUALISTIC DEFENSE TRAITS IN PLANTS Marjorie Gail Weber, Ph. D. Cornell University 2014 Plant traits that mediate mutualistic interactions as a mode of defense are pervasive, have originated independently many times within angiosperms, and are highly variable across taxa. My dissertation research examines the evolutionary ecology of two common plant traits that mediate defense mutualisms in plants: extrafloral nectaries (EFNs), plant organs that secrete small volumes of nectar, thereby attracting predacious arthropods to leaves, and (2) leaf domatia, small structures on the undersides of leaves that provide housing for predacious or fungivorous mites. Because traits like EFNs and domatia influence multiple trophic levels, their evolution can have strong impacts on community dynamics relative to other plant characters. Nonetheless, studies that directly link the ecological effects of these traits with their evolutionary dynamics are rare. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Marjorie Weber was born in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. She received a BA in Biology from Lewis and Clark College in 2007. iv Dedicated to my family, friends, and to Gideon v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I thank my advisor, Anurag Agrawal.

An Overview of the Fossil Record of Climbers: Bejucos, Sogas, Trepadoras, Lianas, Cipós, and Vines
Rev. bras. paleontol. 12(2):149-160, Maio/Agosto 2009 © 2009 by the Sociedade Brasileira de Paleontologia doi:10.4072/rbp.2009.2.05 AN OVERVIEW OF THE FOSSIL RECORD OF CLIMBERS: BEJUCOS, SOGAS, TREPADORAS, LIANAS, CIPÓS, AND VINES ROBYN J. BURNHAM Museum of Paleontology, University of Michigan 1109 Geddes Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1079, USA. [email protected] ABSTRACT – One of the most obvious life forms in tropical forests today is the liana, which laces together tree canopies and climbs the dark interiors of forests with snake-like stems. Lianas are ecologically important in extant, forested ecosystems, both intact and disturbed. Their contribution to forest diversity, food resources, structural complexity, and plant-animal interactions are recognized, but rarely studied. Climbers (woody lianas and herbaceous vines) are viewed as everything from diversity contributors to forest growth inhibitors by modern ecologists and systematists. Climbers take advantage of the structural support of trees to invest proportionately more in vegetative and reproductive organs, resulting in proliferation at the individual and species level. Today the climbing habit is dominated by angiosperm species, with only a minor contribution from ferns plus a single non-angiosperm seed plant genus, Gnetum. This contribution reports the establishment of the newly established database, Fossil Record of Climbers (FRC) that documents more than 1100 records of climbing plants from the Paleozoic to the Quaternary using published literature on the fossil record. The diversity of climbers in the fossil record prior to the evolution of angiosperms is explored, posing the hypothesis that climbers of the past had a similarly important role in tropical forests, at least in the Paleozoic. -
