Phylogenetic, functional, and taxonomic richness have both positive and negative effects on ecosystem multifunctionality

…, S Soliveres, N Gross, R Torices… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Biodiversity encompasses multiple attributes such as the richness and abundance of species
(taxonomic diversity), the presence of different evolutionary lineages (phylogenetic diversity…

Functional traits determine plant co-occurrence more than environment or evolutionary relatedness in global drylands

S Soliveres, FT Maestre, MA Bowker, R Torices… - Perspectives in plant …, 2014 - Elsevier
Plant–plant interactions are driven by environmental conditions, evolutionary relationships (ER)
and the functional traits of the plants involved. However, studies addressing the relative …

Where do monomorphic sexual systems fit in the evolution of dioecy? Insights from the largest family of angiosperms

R Torices, M Méndez, JM Gómez - New Phytologist, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
• A range of hypothesized evolutionary pathways has been proposed for describing the
evolution of dioecy. However, the evolutionary links between other sexual systems not directly …

Direct and indirect effects of invasion by the alien tree Ailanthus altissima on riparian plant communities and ecosystem multifunctionality

S Constán-Nava, S Soliveres, R Torices, L Serra… - Biological …, 2015 - Springer
Most existing studies addressing the effects of invasive species on biodiversity focus on
species richness ignoring better indicators of biodiversity and better predictors of ecosystem …

Floral development and evolution of capitulum structure in Anacyclus (Anthemideae, Asteraceae)

MA Bello, I Alvarez, R Torices… - Annals of …, 2013 - academic.oup.com
Background and Aims Most of the diversity in the pseudanthia of Asteraceae is based on
the differential symmetry and sexuality of its flowers. In Anacyclus, where there are (1) …

[HTML][HTML] Kin discrimination allows plants to modify investment towards pollinator attraction

R Torices, JM Gómez, JR Pannell - Nature Communications, 2018 - nature.com
Pollinators tend to be preferentially attracted to large floral displays that may comprise more
than one plant in a patch. Attracting pollinators thus not only benefits individuals investing in …

[HTML][HTML] Within-individual phenotypic plasticity in flowers fosters pollination niche shift

…, L Navarro, L DeSoto, R Torices - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Phenotypic plasticity, the ability of a genotype of producing different phenotypes when exposed
to different environments, may impact ecological interactions. We study here how within-…

The role of pollinators in the evolution of corolla shape variation, disparity and integration in a highly diversified plant family with a conserved floral bauplan

JM Gómez, R Torices, J Lorite, CP Klingenberg… - Annals of …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Background and Aims Brassicaceae is one of the most diversified families in the angiosperms.
However, most species from this family exhibit a very similar floral bauplan. In this study, …

R Torices, AJ Muñoz‐Pajares - Applications in Plant Sciences, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Premise of the study: Organisms usually show intercorrelations between all or some of their
components leading to phenotypic integration, which may have deep consequences on the …
