Background and Aims The supertribe Paulliniodae includes Athyaneae, Bridgesieae, Thouinieae, and Paullinieae tribes. Molecular phylogeny and chromosomal diversity are relatively known, and some doubts persist about chromosome evolution processes and the taxonomic position of a group of Cardiospermum and Urvillea species weakly associated with Serja...

Article
Populations of widely distributed plants may experience varying climatic or ecological conditions, leading to uneven evolution of reproductive traits. However, studies on reproductive biology usually focus on just one, or rarely two, sampling areas. In this study, we performed a geographical comparative analysis of the flowering pattern, pollinatio...

Serjania is among the largest Neotropical genera of Sapindaceae and comprises ∼240 species. Traditionally, the genus has been defined by its schizocarpic fruits separating into three distally winged mericarps. However, recent phylogenetic studies have revealed that fruit type is not consistent within the genus and that it also includes a few specie...

Invasive species are characterized by their ability to colonize new habitats and establish populations away from their native range. In this sense, these plants are expected to have plastic responses to adapt to the environmental pressures during the invasion process. Hence, the role of natural selection is essential because it might favor the occu...

Heteranthery has been largely associated with a division of labour between anthers. Most species of Stigmaphyllon (Malpighiaceae) present heteromorphic anthers and glandular connectives of different development; yet, the functional meaning of this condition has never been explored in the genus. The aims of this study were to provide a comparative d...

Invasive species must colonize new habitats away from their native range; therefore, factors affecting plant dispersal play a key role in invasion. The ploidy level and genome size (or Cx value) can affect the dispersal traits, physiology, and ecology of invasive species over a few generations, generating individuals that can face fluctuating envir...
