Pollination of Habenaria tridactylites (Orchidaceae: Orchidinae) on the Canary Islands
(2019)
We investigated the pollination of Habenaria tridactylites, an endemic orchid of the
Canary Islands. The entirely green, widely open flowers have a long spur containing
nectar. We carried out fieldwork, a molecular clock ...
Specklinia lugduno-batavae (Pleurothallidinae: Orchidaceae), a new species in the S. digitalis group
(2015)
Specklinia lugduno-batavae from the Caribbean lowlands of Nicaragua and Costa Rica is formally described and illustrated. The new species belongs to the Specklinia digitalis group and can be recognised by the creeping ...
A new Specklinia (Orchidaceae: Pleurothallidinae) from Costa Rica and Panama
(2013)
A new species of Specklinia from the Cordillera de Talamanca in southern Costa Rica and western Panama is described and illustrated. Specklinia absurda most closely resembles Specklinia fuegi. It differs from that species ...
Antimicrobial activity of necklace orchids is phylogenetically clustered and can be predicted with a biological response method
(2021-03-12)
Necklace orchids (Coelogyninae, Epidendroideae) have been used in traditional medicine practices for centuries. Previous studies on a subset of unrelated orchid species utilized in these traditional practices revealed they ...
Hundreds of nuclear and plastid loci yield novel insights into orchid relationships
(2021)
PREMISE: The inference of evolutionary relationships in the species- rich family Orchidaceae has hitherto relied heavily on plastid DNA sequences and limited taxon sampling. Previous studies have provided a robust plastid ...
Phylogenetic reassessment of Specklinia and its allied genera in the pleurothallidinae (Orchidaceae)
(2016)
The phylogenetic relationships within Specklinia (Pleurothallidinae; Orchidaceae) and related genera are re-evaluated using Bayesian analyses of nrITS and chloroplast matK sequence data of a wide sampling of species. ...
The orchid genomic toolkit
(2018)
The application of genomic studies to orchids enables increasingly detailed discoveries of the evolution of both species and organs. We discuss different evolutionary questions that can be addressed using such approaches, ...
Floral anatomy and evolution of pollination syndromes in Lepanthes and close relatives
(2019-07)
Pleurothallidinae is the largest Neotropical orchid subtribe encompassing >5100 species that are mainly dipteran-pollinated. Various pollination syndromes, targeting hump-backed flies (Phoridae), fungal gnats (Sciaridae), ...
Phylogenetic comparative methods improve the selection of characters for generic delimitations in a hyperdiverse Neotropical orchid clade
(2019)
Taxonomic delimitations are challenging because of the convergent and variable nature of phenotypic
traits. This is evident in species-rich lineages, where the ancestral and derived states and their gains
and losses are ...
Molecular clocks and archeogenomics of a late period egyptian date palm leaf reveal introgression from wild relatives and add timestamps on the domestication
(2021-06-30)
The date palm, Phoenix dactylifera, has been a cornerstone of Middle Eastern and North African agriculture for millennia. It was first domesticated in the Persian Gulf, and its evolution appears to have been influenced by ...
