This study examined how forest edges, fruit display size, and fruit colour influenced rates of seed dispersal in an endemic, bird-dispersed, New Zealand mistletoe species, Alepis flavida. To examine rates of seed dispersal, fruit removal rates were compared between plants growing on forest edges and in forest interior, and also between two morphs of plants with different coloured fruits. Two as...

We compiled a checklist with all known endemic plants occurring in the Sierras of Córdoba and San Luis, an isolated mountainous range located in central Argentina. In order to obtain a better understanding of the evolutionary history, relationships and age of the regional flora, we gathered basic information on the biogeographical and floristic affinities of the endemics, and documented the inc...

With the exception of French Guiana and Adélie Land, Overseas Territories (FOTs) are islands their biodiversity is remarkable in many ways. Notably, they harbour numerous unique taxa leading to exceptionally high rates endemism. Among endemic plants, 95% occur FOTs, accounting for ca. 4000 species tracheophytes ‘bryophytes’ (Gargominy et al. 2020).
