Journal ArticleDOI
Insights into the historical construction of species-rich Mesoamerican seasonally dry tropical forests: the diversification of Bursera (Burseraceae, Sapindales).
J. Arturo De-Nova,Rosalinda Medina,Juan Carlos Montero,Andrea Weeks,Julieta A. Rosell,Mark E. Olson,Luis E. Eguiarte,Susana Magallón +7 more
TL;DR: The diversification of Bursera suggests that Mesoamerican SDTF richness derives from high speciation from the Miocene onwards uncoupled from habitat shifts, during a period of enhanced aridity resulting mainly from global cooling and regional rain shadows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of phosphorus enrichment and grazing snails on modern stromatolitic microbial communities
James J. Elser,James J. Elser,John H. Schampel,John H. Schampel,Ferran Garcia-Pichel,Ferran Garcia-Pichel,Brian D. Wade,Brian D. Wade,Valeria Souza,Valeria Souza,Luis E. Eguiarte,Luis E. Eguiarte,Ana E. Escalante,Ana E. Escalante,Jack D. Farmer,Jack D. Farmer +15 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesised that a state of severe P-limitation is imposed on autotrophic production in this food web due, at least in part, to co-precipitation of phosphate during calcite deposition, which produces severe P -limitation of the benthic algae and cyanobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic structure, outcrossing rate and heterosis in Astrocaryum mexicanum (tropical palm): Implications for evolution and conservation
TL;DR: The population genetics of the understory tropical rain forest palm Astrocaryum mexicanum were studied in Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico, using enzyme electrophoresis and appear not to satisfy the conditions necessary for non-adaptive evolution, a hypothesis commonly invoked to explain high tropical tree diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exceptional reduction of the plastid genome of saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea): Loss of the ndh gene suite and inverted repeat
Michael J. Sanderson,Dario Copetti,Dario Copetti,Alberto Búrquez,Enriquena Bustamante,Joseph L.M. Charboneau,Luis E. Eguiarte,Sudhir Kumar,Hyun Oh Lee,Junki Lee,Michelle M. McMahon,Kelly P. Steele,Rod A. Wing,Rod A. Wing,Tae-Jin Yang,Derrick J. Zwickl,Martin F. Wojciechowski +16 more
TL;DR: The saguaro plastid genome is the smallest known for an obligately photosynthetic angiosperm, having lost the IR and plastsid ndh genes, and this loss supports a statistically strong association across seed plants between the loss of n Dh genes and the Loss of the inverted repeat (IR).
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome size variation in wild and cultivated maize along altitudinal gradients.
Concepción M. Díez,Brandon S. Gaut,Esteban Meca,Enrique Scheinvar,Salvador Montes-Hernández,Luis E. Eguiarte,Maud I. Tenaillon +6 more
TL;DR: The results further document the size flexibility of the Zea genome, but also point to a drastic shift in patterns of GS variation since domestication, which it is argued may reflect the indirect action of selection on GS, through a multiplicity of phenotypes and life-history traits.
