This study uses a meta-analysis to show that temperature gradients affect flower and fruit traits across species, with implications for plant-animal interactions.

The paper shows that woodiness in angiosperms is more common on continents than islands, driven by drought and frost-free temperatures, with additional factors like precipitation seasonality and elevation.

The paper tests how genome size, adaptation, and allometry interact to drive speciation in tropical palms using phylogenetic and trait data.

The paper tests how past megafaunal extinctions and human activity affect seed sizes of large-seeded plants in Madagascar, finding legacy effects of extinct megafauna and human-driven downsizing.

The paper examines the relationship between evolutionary age and range size in species, finding that age correlates with larger ranges but this effect is modulated by insularity and dispersal ability.

This study investigates how megaherbivores, climate, and fire influenced the evolution and distribution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes across different biogeographical regions.

This study investigates the evolution of seed dispersal syndromes in angiosperms, finding ancestral zoochory and correlations with biome and pollination mode transitions.

The paper analyzes animal stoichiometry across species and body sizes, finding body size better predicts intraspecific than interspecific variation in elemental content.
