Journal ArticleDOI
Escalation of plant defense: do latex and resin canals spur plant diversification?
TL;DR: The evidence for Ehrlich and Raven's postulate that rapid diversification follows innovation in plant defense is quantified by comparing the diversities of lineages that have independently evolved canal systems with their sister groups for as many plant lineages as current taxonomic evidence allows.

Understanding and Manipulating Plant Attributes to Enhance Biological Control
TL;DR: It is suggested ways of manipulating morphological and chemical attributes of crop plants for a more sustainable and balanced control of insect pests in agro-ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogeny and classification of the Melastomataceae and Memecylaceae
TL;DR: A phylogeny in which there are two major lineages in the Melastomataceae and a clearly distinct Memecylaceae is suggested, which implies an east Gondwanian origin of the family.
