Systematics and Biology of Silica Bodies in Monocotyledons
TL;DR: The distribution and diversity of opaline silica bodies in monocotyledons in a phylogenetic framework is described, together with a review of techniques used for their examination, and the ecology, function and economic applications of these cell inclusions are described.

Phytolith analysis and tropical paleo-ecology: production and taxonomic significance of siliceous forms in new world plant domesticates and wild species
TL;DR: The analysis of 17 domesticated and 365 wild species from the New World tropics has revealed a large diversity of phytolith shapes that have varying levels of taxonomic significance, and a system is developed for their identification in archeological and geological sediments.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the vulnerability of several species to trapping on the islands and found that the islands appeared to lag behind the mainland in the development of their populations and the populations of small mammals fluctuate quite widely and the several populations appear to be somewhat independent of each other.

Contributions to the cytotaxonomy of the Commelinaceae
TL;DR: A discussion of chromosome architecture in Gibasis in relation to the taxonomy of the genus concludes the paper, where the basic number appears to be x= 6 but two karyotype patterns have been found.
