Diversification in flower shape and function is triggered by the high plasticity of flower meristems. Minute changes in space and time can profoundly affect the formation of adult structures. Dipsacoideae provides an excellent model system to investigate the evolutionary aspects of temporal and spatial changes in flower development due to its small size, the resolved phylogenetic framework, and significant diversity of perianth form and merosity. In the present study, we investigated the sequence of floral organ initiation and quantified the interactions between flower meristem expansion and petal primordium size in eight species representing two major clades of Dipsacoideae. Our quantitati…

As part of an ongoing project for the investigation of the Algerian-Tunisian flora, six names of species of Caprifoliaceae subfam. Dipsacaceae, endemic to central and western North Africa, described in the 19th and 20th Centuries under the genus Scabiosa, are here lectotypified. They are: Scabiosa camelorum Cosson & Durieu, Scabiosa cartenniana Pons & Quézel, Scabiosa daucoides Desf., Scabiosa farinosa Cosson, Scabiosa parielii Maire, and Scabiosa robertii Barratte. Taxonomic notes, distributisson and new unpublished data about plant phenology of these taxa are given.

Ecological aspects of plants inhabiting Mediterranean cliffs. Challenges and prospects of life in vertical environments
2021
[ES] Esta tesis investiga las oportunidades, desafíos y limitaciones para la investigación en el campo de la ecología vegetal, en el contexto de los acantilados mediterráneos. En concreto, las especies casmofiticas, cuyos hábitats naturales se caracterizan por su acusada pendiente. Las laderas de las montañas de piedra caliza en la proximidad del mar, en la parte central y occidental del área mediterránea se consideran objetos de estudio. Los estudios se llevaron a cabo en los cinturones costeros de montaña de las costas del noroeste de Sicilia y la costa diánica en la Comunidad Valenciana. El primer capítulo, titulado "The complexity of environmental factors: cliff microclimate", investiga…
Beiträge zur Kenntnis der Gattung Pseudoscabiosa (Dipsacaceae)
1997
Die Gattung Pseudoscabiosa DEVESA wird untersucht unter besonderer Berucksichtigung der Bedeutung der Mikromorphologie der Behaarung fur die Systematik dieser Gattung. Eine neue nordafrikanische Art, Pseudoscabiosa africana (FONT QUER) ROMO, CIRUJANO, PERIS & STUBING comb. & stat. nov., wird aufgestellt. The genus Pseudoscabiosa DEVESA is reviewed, stressing the importance of the micromorphology of the hair-covering for the systematics of this genus. A new Northafrican species is proposed, Pseudoscabiosa africana (FONT QUER) ROMO, CIRUJANO, PERIS & STUBING comb. & stat. nov.
