The global distribution of human-visible flower color diversity

The paper analyzes global flower color diversity using community science data, finding a latitudinal gradient in color diversity and associations with climate and pollination strategies.

Stochastic Character Mapping of Continuous Traits on Phlyogenies

The paper introduces a method for stochastic character mapping of continuous traits on phylogenies, showing higher trait evolution rates in smaller eucalypt trees.

Convergent evolution of red pigmentation in extrafloral nectaries: global patterns and mechanisms

The paper investigates red pigmentation in extrafloral nectaries across 625 species, finding cold wet regions and deserts as hotspots and suggesting a fungal defense role for red pigments.

Opposing seasonal dynamics in phylogenetic and flower color diversity of co-flowering wildflower assemblages

The paper examines seasonal changes in flower color and phylogenetic diversity of co-flowering wildflowers, finding non-random structure and shifts in dispersion patterns over time.

A Global Assessment of Plant-Mite Mutualism and its Ecological Drivers

The paper assesses plant-mite mutualism globally, showing mite domatia evolved in temperate regions and dry habitats, with climate-driven patterns of morphological convergence.

Small, but mitey: Investigating the molecular genetic basis for mite domatia development and intraspecific variation in Vitis riparia using transcriptomics

The paper investigates the molecular genetic basis of mite domatia development and intraspecific variation in Vitis riparia using transcriptomics, identifying key pathways and gene expression patterns.
