Evolutionary developmental biology (evo‐devo) explores the link between developmental
patterning and phenotypic change through evolutionary time. In this review, we highlight the …

The evolution of annual or perennial strategies in flowering plants likely depends on a broad
array of temperature and precipitation variables. Previous documented climate life‐history …

We reconstruct the evolutionary changes in different anatomical markers in order to
understand the evolution and functional aspects of growth rings during the diversification of …

The Sapindales are a large order comprised of trees, shrubs, lianas and rarely herbs. This
lineage is mostly pantropical with important temperate lineages, inclusing some of the most …

Illegal logging and associated trade aggravate the over-exploitation of Swietenia species, of
which S. macrophylla King, S. mahagoni (L.) Jacq, and S. humilis Zucc. have been listed in …

Changes in floral morphology are expected across evolutionary time and are often promoted
as important drivers in angiosperm diversification. Such a statement, however, is in contrast …

The career of Sherwin J. Carlquist was marked by numerous pioneering contributions to
botany and especially to ecological and evolutionary wood anatomy. He developed some of …

Croton is one of the largest angiosperm genera, with> 1200 species in the tropics
worldwide. The arborescent Croton section Cleodora stands out for its disjunct geographical …

There is no doubt that Carlquist is one of the greatest contemporary wood anatomists. Every
student or researcher in the field is likely to have read at least one of his numerous works …

Premise Despite intensive research, the pathways and driving forces behind the evolution of
derived woodiness on oceanic islands remain obscure. The genus Daucus comprises …
