The Mediterranean Basin is a significant hotspot of species diversity and endemism, with various distribution patterns speciation mechanisms observed in its flora. High the also manifested monophyletic lineage Alyssum annuals (Brassicaceae), but little known about origin. These include both diploids polyploids that grow mainly open disturbed sites across wide elevational span show contrasting patterns, ranging from broadly distributed Eurasian to narrow island endemics. Here, we investigated...
The role of endemic species in global biodiversity is pivotal, and understanding their biology ecology imperative for fitness long-term survival, particularly the face ongoing climatic oscillations. Our primary goal was to investigate sexual reproduction level endangered Western Carpathian Daphne arbuscula (Thymelaeaceae), which inhabits extreme rocky habitats, comprehend influence specific factors on its reproductive success. We conducted research across four populations, varying size...
Alyssum rossetii, a stenoendemic madwort discovered on mountain slope in the Valpelline valley (northern part of Aosta Valley Pennine Alps), is described here as new species. It perennial that morphologically close to montanum-A. repens complex, with several hitherto neglected peculiar morphological characters. Here we present full description taxon, including information its chromosome number, genome size and ecology, well detailed comparison species four related taxa occuring broader...
Abstract Odd ploidy-level cytotypes in sexually reproducing species are considered a dead end due to absent or reduced fertility. If sterility is only partial, however, their contribution the population gene pool can be augmented by longevity and clonal growth. To test this, we investigated cytotype origin spatial pattern, pollen viability three relict shrub of genus Daphne (Thymelaeaceae Juss.) central Europe. cneorum subsp. widespread European that has broad ecological amplitude, whereas...
Plant species diversity may be considerably underestimated, especially in evolutionarily complex genera and hotspots that have enabled long-term persistence diversification, such as the Balkan Peninsula. Here, we address topic of underexplored plant underlying evolutionary biogeographic processes by investigating hygrophytic mountain Cardamine acris s.l. distributed Balkans (three subspecies within C. acris) northwestern Anatolia (C. anatolica). We performed a series phylogenetic...
Odontarrhena tortuosa is a herbaceous species occurring in steppe and rocky habitats of Eurasia. The present study focused on the cytogeography morphological variation species’ populations growing Pannonian basin (Central Europe), which represents westernmost part its distribution area. Flow cytometric analyses have revealed existence tetraploid populations, are reported here for first time Central Europe. We analysed 329 individuals from Slovakia, Hungary Serbia by multivariate morphometric...
A recent study of European annual taxa Alyssum has revealed that A. simplex includes two cytotypes (diploid and tetraploid) which differ in genetic markers, evolutionary history, monoploid relative genome size. In this paper we present a new taxonomic treatment treat the as separate species. We select discuss suitable names for both tetraploid collinum), examine their morphological differences survey geographic distribution. addition, compare with morphologically similar genetically related...
