Trees and shrubs as invasive alien species – a global review
TL;DR: The objectively compiled list of invasive species presented here provides a snapshot of the current dimensions of the phenomenon and will be useful for screening new introductions for invasive potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative analysis of a large dataset indicates that internal transcribed spacer (ITS) should be incorporated into the core barcode for seed plants.

TL;DR: It is proposed that ITS/ITS2 should be incorporated into the core barcode for seed plants, because in cases where it is difficult to amplify and directly sequence ITS in its entirety, just using ITS2 is a useful backup because it is easier to amplified and sequence this subset of the marker.

TL;DR: It is shown that daytime and nighttime leaf-to-air temperature differences are key to geographic gradients in leaf size, which can enrich “next-generation” vegetation models in which leaf temperature and water use during photosynthesis play key roles.

Recently Formed Polyploid Plants Diversify at Lower Rates
Itay Mayrose,Shing Hei Zhan,Carl J. Rothfels,Karen Magnuson-Ford,Michael S. Barker,Loren H. Rieseberg,Loren H. Rieseberg,Sarah P. Otto +7 more
TL;DR: Likelihood-based analyses indicate that polyploids generally exhibit lower speciation rates and higher extinction rates than diploids, providing the first quantitative corroboration of the dead-end hypothesis.
