The paper investigates the evolution and reversal of woodiness in flowering plants, finding that drought supports persistence while reduced frost drives gains and increased frost leads to loss.

This study examines how selective logging and forest regrowth affect phylogenetic and functional diversity in Congo Basin rainforests, finding altered community composition but no overdispersion or clustering.

This study evaluates drought tolerance in 151 Phaseolinae bean accessions using high-throughput phenotyping, revealing distinct trait responses and correlations with climate variables.

This study examines leaf trait variation and its climatic drivers in African Coffea species using phylogenetic comparative methods.

The paper assesses genetic diversity in wild and cultivated Coffea canephora in DR Congo, finding strong genetic differentiation between wild and cultivated populations and highlighting the need to enrich the INERA Yangambi Coffee Collection with local wild genotypes.

The paper assesses genetic representation in seed collections of banana wild relatives compared to their source populations, finding that mating systems significantly affect representation.

This study uses phylogenomic data to analyze floral trait evolution in the Anthonotha clade, revealing high diversity in floral trait shifts and a trend towards organ number reduction.
