Examples of dispersal units in the Mimosa and Stryphnodendron clades.

Morphological innovation and lineage-specific history drive disparification in the aggregated pollen of mimosoid plants

What are the patterns of pollen disparity in the Mimosa and Stryphnodendron clades, and are these patterns similar between lineages that occur in the same biomes?

Evolution of traits (a) pollen ornamentation and (b) exine thickness in the Stryphnodendron clade.

Pollen evolution in the Stryphnodendron clade (Leguminosae, Mimoseae)

What is the phylogenetic distribution of pollen characters in the Stryphnodendron clade, and does this distribution support the recent taxonomic rearrangements of its members?

More of almost the same: novel pollen descriptions uncover subtle morphological variation in Mimosa L. (Leguminosae, Mimoseae)

Does our expanded sampling improve the current understanding of pollen disparity within the genus Mimosa, and clarify how morphological diversity is distributed across its phylogeny?
