Included in Annals of Botany‘s special issue on developmental robustness and species diversity, our papers nalyzes the role of pollinators in the evolution of the phenotypic variation, disparity and integration of the corolla shape of 111 Brassicaceae taxa. Read more
In this paper published in Oikos, we analyze the temporal changes occurring in a pollination network established between individuals of the extremely generalist herb Erysimum mediohispanicum. Read more
A photography by PhD student Javier Valverde has been selected to the cover of the journal Oikos for its April issue. Read more
We have analyzed the genetic structure of +B and -B populations of the grasshopper Eyprepocnemis plorans Read more
We suggest that invasive B. nigra populations were introduced in North America from multiple sources in the native range.
We have tested whether floral characters of Erysimum have evolved as a consequence of shifts among pollination niches. Read more
Interspecific hybridization between narrowly endemic alpine plants and widely distributed lowland plants might lead to the genetic extinction of the endemic species. Read more
Intragenomic distribution of RTE retroelements suggests a tendency of RTE elements to reinsert into the same chromosome from where they were transcribed Read more
We have found non-random expression of rDNA units in Eyprepocnemis plorans, a grasshopper showing high intragenomic variation for the ITS2 region Read more
According to the new findings on the phylogeny of the genus Erysimum, we propose the new combination Erysimum bastetanum (G. Blanca & C. Morales) Lorite et al. comb. & stat. nov.
