The frequency and importance of polyploidy in tropical rainforest tree radiations

Schley et al.

nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Ploidy, estimated for each individual with nQuack, mapped on the phylogenetic tree of Inga. The ASTRAL phylogenetic tree was inferred by previous work (Schley et al., 2025) based on 1305 loci from the Mimobaits target bait capture set and contains a single accession per species.

Visitation frequency and pollination effectiveness in buzz-pollinated plants

Valadão-Mendes et al.

nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Illustrative workflow of our procedures: interactions between Chamaecrista flowers and bees, with illustrative examples from each of the four functional groups. These interactions were then used to build interaction networks, represented by qualitative component assessed through single-visit experiments; quantitative component representing the frequency of pairwise interactions; which are then combined into a matrix and finally, the data are combined into performance networks for male and female components. Pollinator images were obtained from https://phylopic.org/.
