    Pollinator shifts, contingent evolution, and evolutionary constraint drive floral disparity inSalvia(Lamiaceae): Evidence from morphometrics and phylogenetic comparative methods
    (WILEY, 2020) Kriebel, Ricardo; Drew, Bryan; Gonzalez-Gallegos, Jesus G.; Celep, Ferhat; Heeg, Luciann; Mahdjoub, Mohamed M.; Sytsma, Kenneth J.
    Switches in pollinators have been argued to be key drivers of floral evolution in angiosperms. However, few studies have tested the relationship between floral shape evolution and switches in pollination in large clades. In concert with a dated phylogeny, we present a morphometric analysis of corolla, anther connective, and style shape across 44% of nearly 1000 species ofSalvia(Lamiaceae) and test four hypotheses of floral evolution. We demonstrate that floral morphospace of New World (NW)Salviais largely distinct from that of Old World (OW)Salviaand that these differences are pollinator driven; shifts in floral morphology sometimes mirror shifts in pollinators; anther connectives (key constituents of theSalviastaminal lever) and styles co-evolved from curved to linear shapes following shifts from bee to bird pollination; and morphological differences between NW and OW bee flowers are partly the legacy of constraints imposed by an earlier shift to bird pollination in the NW. The distinctive staminal lever inSalviais a morphologically diverse structure that has evolved in concert with both the corolla and style, under different pollinator pressures, and in contingent fashion.

    Taxonomy of origanum L. (Lamiaceae)
    (Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2021) Dirmenci1, Tuncay; Arabaci, Turan; Özcan1, Taner; Drew, Bryan; Yazici, Türker; Martin, Esra; Celep, Ferhat
    Origanum (Subfamily Nepetoideae, tribe Mentheae, subtribe Menthinae) contains several species commonly used as spices, tea, and for medicinal purposes, and is one of the most commercially important genera within the family Lamiaceae. Origanum is found exclusively in the Northern Hemisphere of the Old World, with 90% of the taxa occurring in the Mediterranean region. Although members of the genus are predominantly distributed in the Mediterranean region, there are also species (e.g., O. vulgare s.l.) distributed from the Azores to Taiwan and throughout much of Eurasia. Diploid chromosome numbers have been reported as 2n = 28, 30 and 32, with the basic number x = 15. Hybridization is quite common (~52% of species) within Origanum, and can occur between individuals belonging to the same or different generic sections. Homoploid hybridization appears to be the primary ploidy mechanism within the genus. Here, we define Origanum as having 42 species (49 taxa) and 22 hybrids, and provide an updated sectional delimitation of the genus. In addition to providing taxonomic clarification, information including gross morphological characters, photographs and drawings, distribution, ecology, and cytology of the genus are also provided. © 2022 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
