Thorough systematics research has identified 13 subfamilies within Asteraceae. However, some taxa still lack comprehensive genomic data, which hampers the understanding of relationships between these subfamilies. This study sequenced the complete plastome of <em>Gymnanthemum amygdalinum</em> from Vietnam. Additionally, plastomes of 16 Asteraceae species were newly assembled using existing whole genome sequencing data from GenBank. All 17 examined Asteraceae plastomes displayed a quadripartite structure, with lengths ranging from 151,340 bp to 153,670 bp. Of these, <em>G. amygdalinum</em> exhibited a loss of <em>ndhF</em> gene and an expansion of inverted repeat regions, resulting in a smaller small-single copy region. The large single-copy regions of the 16 Asteraceae plastomes, excluding <em>D. popayanense</em> from Barnadesioideae subfamily, showed two inversions: one between the <em>trnE-UUC</em> and <em>trnG-UCC</em>, and another between <em>trnE-UUC</em> and <em>trnC-GCA</em> regions. Our plastome-based phylogenetic analysis of 42 Asteraceae species supported the nuclear gene-based taxonomic classification. However, discrepancies were observed in the phylogenetic relationship among certain less abundant subfamilies. The newly obtained genomic data provide novel insights into the phylogenetic relationships across species in Asteraceae.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity","volume":"17 4","pages":"Pages 820-826"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142703792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We hypothesized that random variation in seed dispersal (i.e., stochastic processes) and variation mediated by distance (i.e., deterministic processes) would explain landscape-scale species distributions more effectively than deterministic seed dispersal processes alone. We evaluated 16 tree species with different seed dispersal modes by simulating seed dispersal processes. Stochastic simulations predicted higher dispersal distances for the majority of species. The findings of this study suggest that stochastic simulations are a more reliable tool for identifying dispersal restrictions in the context of climate change and biodiversity loss, highlighting the significance of using stochastic simulations for analyzing seed dispersal patterns in temperate forests, rather than more conventional deterministic methods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity","volume":"17 4","pages":"Pages 800-806"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142704888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, its vocalizations are structurally diverse: duration, ∼10 ms to 1.5 s; peak frequency (adults), <900 to >3000 Hz. Currently, it was found not only on Nansei Shoto, Minami-daito-jima, and Okino Islands in Japan but also on the Batanes Islands in eastern China and the Babuyan Islands. Moreover, assumed that it inhabits Okinoshima, lying beyond the known northern limit of distribution.

This is classified as sexual dimorphism. The strategies of resource allocation along with the habitat of these species pose an impact on their pollination mechanism and reproductive success. <em>Zanthoxylum armatum</em> DC (Rutaceae) is a small tree with wide economic and medicinal value. The species is naturally distributed in tropical parts of India and other countries. Due to overexploitation of natural populations in India, the species is rapidly declining. To restore the population of the species in the wild and establish commercial plantations, detailed knowledge of its reproductive biology is essential. Thus, the present study was conducted in natural population of <em>Z. armatum</em> growing in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The study revealed sex-biased allocation and sexual dimorphism both in vegetative and reproductive traits. Such traits include more height and higher number of shoots, inflorescences, and flowers in male plants than in female plants. The natural populations of <em>Z. armatum</em> exhibit a male-biased sex ratio, and such biasness appears to be the outcome of resource allocation strategies and other demographic characteristics. Species possibly exhibit presence of ambophilous suite, i.e., a combination of wind and insect pollination in floral features. However, pollen dispersal by wind is up to limited distance, and thus wind may or may not be effective in fruit-set.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":37957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity","volume":"17 4","pages":"Pages 739-747"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142704881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
