By virtue of their niche construction traits, plants play a significant role in shaping
landscapes. The resultant outcome could change the selective environment, which then …

The formation of ecotypes has been invoked as an important driver of postglacial
biodiversity, because many species colonized heterogeneous habitats and experienced …

Abstract Aims The carnivorous Utricularia (Lentibulariaceae) has an anatomically simple
and seemingly rootless vegetative body. It occupies a variety of wetlands and inland waters …

Island biogeography is the study of the spatio‐temporal distribution of species, communities,
assemblages or ecosystems on islands and other isolated habitats. Island diversity is …

Solid biosilica (phytoliths) deposited in plant tissues is thought to function as structural
support, as a cost‐effective alternative to lignin, and in herbivore defence, by limiting nutrient …

Species within clades are commonly assumed to share similar life history traits, but within a
given region some clades show much greater variability in traits than others. Are variable …

Ascertaining the traits important for acclimation and adaptation is a critical first step to
predicting the fate of populations and species facing rapid environmental change. One of the …

How the balance between selection, migration, and drift influences the evolution of local
adaptation has been under intense theoretical scrutiny. Yet, empirical studies that relate …

The trend of closely related taxa to retain similar environmental preferences mediated by
inherited traits suggests that several patterns observed at the community scale originate …

The Liliiflorae sensu Dahlgren, Clifford & Yeo (1985) represent ninety-one tribes in between
forty-eight and fifty-six families and five orders worldwide, many of which are or restricted …
