Geographic patterns in the reproductive ecology of Agave lechuguilla (Agavaceae) in the Chihuahuan desert. I. Floral characteristics, visitors, and fecundity.
TL;DR: The patterns of variation of flower morphology, color, and fecundity of Agave lechuguilla in 11 populations along a latitudinal gradient encompassing the whole range of the species in the Chihuahuan desert are described.

Evolución de la familia Agavaceae: filogenia, biología reproductiva y genética de poblaciones
TL;DR: This paper reconstructed the Agavaceae family phylogeny using ITS l and ITS 2 data, and calibrated a molecular clock to discuss the evolutionary patterns in the family, mapping the different characters in the phylogeny.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographic patterns in the reproductive ecology of Agave lechuguilla (Agavaceae) in the Chihuahuan desert. II. Genetic variation, differentiation, and inbreeding estimates.
TL;DR: The patterns and inferences of the genetic structure of the population at the molecular level is consistent with variation in floral traits and pollinator visitation rates across the range of the species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproductive biology of the threatened species Furcraea parmentieri (Aspargaceae)
TL;DR: Fucraeae parmentieri presents a low fruit set due to pollinator limitation, however the population seems to be thriving and the main threat faced by this species is the high land-use change rate along its distribution range, as well as climate change.
