Monardella Stebbinsii (Lamiaceae), A New Serpentine Endemic Species from the Northern Sierra Nevada, Plumas County, California
M onarde/la stebbinsii (Lamiaceae ), a new species from the northern Sierra Nevada of Plumas County, California, is described and illustrated. Characterized by ovate leaves, multiple verticillasters per infiorascence, a matlike habit, reddish papery bracts, and purplish-red leaves with a soft white pubescence, the species is not closely related to any other species of the genus. The new species...
متن کاملMaintenance of strong morphological differentiation despite ongoing natural hybridization between sympatric species of Lomatia (Proteaceae).
BACKGROUND AND AIMS When species cohesion is maintained despite ongoing natural hybridization, many questions are raised about the evolutionary processes operating in the species complex. This study examined the extensive natural hybridization between the Australian native shrubs Lomatia myricoides and L. silaifolia (Proteaceae). These species exhibit striking differences in morphology and ecol...
متن کاملStrong reproductive isolation despite occasional hybridization between a widely distributed and a narrow endemic Rhododendron species
Reproductive isolation (RI) plays an important role for speciation, but assessing reproductive barriers at all life-cycle stages remains challenging. In plants, most studies addressing the topic have been focusing on herbs with short generation times. The present study attempted to quantify several reproductive barriers between a hybridizing species pair of long-lived woody rhododendrons. Consi...
متن کاملHabitat Specificity in Three Sympatric Species of Ameiva (Reptilia: Teiidae)
Three sympatric species of Ameiva in Costa Rica (A. quadrilineata, A. festiva, and A. leptophrys) were found in distinct habitats with respect to vegetation cover, ground insolation, environmental temperatures, surface litter, and activity periods. Ameiva quadrilineata commonly forages in an area of open, low vegetation cover adjacent to bare soil. Its habitat is sunnier and warmer than those o...
متن کاملWhen habitat matters: Habitat preferences can modulate co-occurrence patterns of similar sympatric species
Disentangling the role of competition in regulating the distribution of sympatric species can be difficult because species can have different habitat preferences or time use that introduce non-random patterns that are not related to interspecific interactions. We adopted a multi-step approach to systematically incorporate habitat preferences while investigating the co-occurrence of two presumed...
