Merging "Bramble" with this page
The word bramble is used as a synonym for either blackberries specifically, or for Rubus more generally. Either way, there is no point in having a separate article called "Bramble", so I propose that the useful parts of its content be merged into this page. Gabbe (talk) 15:31, 2 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Agreed. The information presented here does not warrant a separate article. Go for it! Lepidoptera (talk) 13:45, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Reviving this discussion, because as far as I can tell, the term "bramble" is basically synonymous with Rubus. Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:17, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree, I think they should be merged. Averixus (talk) 06:25, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I also agree. I note the claim in Bramble that "Bramble" is also used to describe other prickly shrubs, such as roses (Rosa species), which might justify a separate article, is supposedly supported by a reference that actually says any prickly shrub belonging to the genus Rubus, of the rose family.

 * I've redirected bramble and merged some of its content into this article. I ommitted a lot of it as I thought it was either unencyclopedic (like a weeding guide), or uncited. Do you think there's any other content worth merging. Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:02, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * there's some stuff about ecology that ought to be in a Rubus article, but as you note it's not fully cited. Ditto uses. So I agree with your merges. Peter coxhead (talk) 18:48, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Massive revision of Rubus taxonomy
"Target Capture Sequencing Unravels Rubus Evolution" Dec 2019 Open access. One of the biggest updates to Rubus taxonomy in decades, several subgenera found to be polyphyletic, anybody interested in updating the article? Hemiauchenia (talk) 14:32, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Polyploidy- definintion
"Polyploidy (having more than two pairs of each chromosome)" but the linked page on polyploidy says: "more than one pair of (homologous) chromosomes" Eaberry (talk) 22:13, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Well spotted! Fixed. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 23:26, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
