📢DEADLINE EXTENDED for our topical collection: "#Systematics, #NaturalHistory and #conservation of Erica (#Ericaceae)"! 👍Studies on the #nomenclature, #taxonomy, #phylogeny, #ecology & conservation of the genus #Erica welcome until 15 December⌛️ 🔓See: doi.org/10.3897/phytok…
Research on Erica phylogenomics offers a customisable target capture set for maximised informativeness, helping decode evolutionary relationships with greater accuracy. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/arphap… #Ericaceae
Trumpet heath flowers appear to be adapted for pollination by long-proboscid flies. However, despite being only faintly fragrant, they are actually pollinated by moths, including hawkmoths, which use their long tongues to access nectar. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/phytok…
Erica species pollinated by sunbirds and long-proboscid flies have higher pollen transfer efficiency compared to bee-pollinated species, according to this study from South Africa. 🇿🇦 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/phytok… #Ericaceae #pollinators
