Commelina diffusa Population Dynamics in Banana and Ruderal Habitats under Mechanical and Herbicide Management Regimes by Wendy-Ann P. Isaac, Richard A. I. Brathwaite, Ayub Khan

“…Seedling establishment appeared to be an important factor influencing the dynamics of C. diffusa in banana orchards as there was little recruitment of seeds with less flower production compared with ruderal habitats where plants produced more flowers. Plants of C. diffusa in the banana orchard habitat had a longer growth cycle. …”

Inferring the dynamics of diversification: a coalescent approach. by Hélène Morlon, Matthew D Potts, Joshua B Plotkin

“…We then compare the performance of different diversification scenarios in explaining a set of 289 phylogenies representing amphibians, arthropods, birds, mammals, mollusks, and flowering plants. Our results indicate that speciation rates typically decay over time, but that diversity is still expanding at present. …”

Mimosa diplotricha (Fabaceae) Recruits Native Pollinators, But Does it Matter? by I.N. Egbon, O.P. Nzie, J. Rotimi

“…In sum, that the population of M. diplotricha is still  expanding in Nigeria against the backdrop of their utilisation by native pollinators is suggestive of a continual recruitment of the pollinators, which may prefer the novel host within a mosaic of widely scattered native flowering plants. Further investigations of pollinators’ choices may be apt to understand the true impact of invasive alien flowering weeds on native pollinators and crop productivity. …”
