Comparative Analyses of the Self-Sealing Mechanisms in Leaves of Delosperma cooperi and Delosperma ecklonis (Aizoaceae) Open
Within the Aizoaceae, the genus Delosperma exhibits a vast diversification colonizing various ecological niches in South-Africa and showing evolutionary adaptations to dry habitats that might include rapid self-sealing. Leaves of Delosperm…

A seed flying like a bullet: ballistic seed dispersal in Chinese witch-hazel (<i>Hamamelis mollis</i>OLIV., Hamamelidaceae) Open
The fruits of Chinese witch-hazel ( Hamamelis mollis , Hamamelidaceae) act as ‘drying squeeze catapults', shooting their seeds several metres away. During desiccation, the exocarp shrinks and splits open, and subsequent endocarp deformatio…

Comparing structure and biomechanics of extant Carica papaya and Ochroma pyramidale stems allows re-evaluating the functional morphology of the fossil ‘seed fern’ Lyginopteris oldhamia Open
This study aims at assessing the mechanical importance of the conspicuous sclerenchymatous 'Dictyoxylon' cortex of the extinct gymnosperm Lyginopteris oldhamia by comparing the latter to the extant angiosperms Carica papaya and Ochroma pyr…
